Well I'm still going broke I don't think I'm being blockaded, I tried pressing 'v' but it didn't show me anything. I'm not at war, the only people around me are the Germans (allies), Egypt (nuetral) and a Rebel province (enemy, but no ships). I just took Ireland and it cut my losses to about -500 a year.

I think I'll try destroying some of my buildings that I don't use anymore. This sucks
