Negotiate trade agreements, secure needed imports, protect export capacity, and—when Round 2 begins—decide how tariffs change the deal.
Select your class section. Sections become available when an instructor opens them; each class has its own live market.
Practice is over. These are the rules that now affect your country’s consequential results.
The Round 1 resource rules still apply. Tariffs now change the cost and payoff of trade.
Exports contribute to GDP at a moderated 20% rate. Exporters receive their negotiated sale proceeds. Government tariff revenue earns no growth bonus. A domestic drag equal to 25% of duties paid reduces the importer’s modeled GDP gain; this is a classroom scoring assumption.
Your team may request a tariff on imports from another country. The instructor must approve it before it becomes active.
Each bar tracks progress toward the amount needed to secure that resource. A need turns green at 100%.
A need counts as secured when imports in that category reach 1% of the GDP entering the current round. Each secured noncritical need earns +0.5% (up to three); the critical need earns +2.0%. Imports use budget but do not reduce GDP dollar-for-dollar.
These are the products your country is best positioned to offer in trade.
