So basically, I'm playing as The Hansa with a moderately peaceful type strategy where the only European lands I intend to acquire are those with Hannoverian culture. After that I intend to go and either conquer or colonise overseas.
My question is, should I go Free Trade or Mercantilism? I'm a merchant republic which seems like it would make more sense to be free trade, but I've always been under the impression that Mercantilism is better if I own the CoT - which obviously I do.
