I haven't got a single ship, so the evil brits would pirate it all anyway. Better to give it to the Polish to waste their money on, while I work on taking their land in Europe. I live fine off taxes, make 20k a turn and rising as I consolidate Spain and France. Now that I have conquered the 3 Iberian provinces my armies are heading east. Hopefully I can change to a republic before attacking the Poles, my people are a bit unhappy.
