is there any good in having trade rights with poor/meagre factions?

Yes, as it still boosts your income. And i like keeping factions in the game.

but what i really meant was if its a poor faction that asked for a trade right, because they are poor they wont afford to import any tradeable goods

its not the faction that gives you money, its their merchants, so even poor countries can have rich merchants.

And you can sell you trade rights, even to poor countries.

He means people in the city. Traders.

They can buy imports, and they do export. It matters not if they are making money.

I'm not talking about the merchant units; i was refering to the general idea of the merchant class in a country's population. therefore, even if the country is poor, it has a merchant class in its society which will be happy to trade with you. of course, this is abstract, so you cant see merchants in city's population, but any trade rights will slighly increase your trade income because of this concept of merchants.
