okay so, when a nation is in your sphere, your markets merge, and UK can't snipe the products because of #1 spot. If i'm correct, you get base access to 50% of their resources, and if you foreign invest you can increase that up to 75% (and i've never seen the AI do much foreign investment so that is usually uncontested)
How impactful is this early on? For example, in GPs without ample coal i usually rush my first 2 spherelings to be Persia and Korea due to their coal RGOs and ample population. I usually build railroads in persia to increase RGO output and get the investment bonus (and increase industry score) but korea doesn't ever allow foreign investment
Do i actually get to steal a decent amount of persia and korea's coal before they get to use it for their own needs, or do i have to wait until technology increases allows more resources to be extracted to gain more tangible benefits?
