These two are probably the most signigant that need to be made seperate. There are some countries that just suck at sending out merchants and will always get gobbled up. Others not so. FE: Rejputana with all land. aristocratic, completely decentralized, mercantilist, narrowminded nation. Everyrhing they can to actually hurt them at trading, and much to hurt them on technology gain so they can be more trade competative. There are other similar nations and having those settings hurts them and isn't historic. Our idea is after all to make the AI better while still being historic and within certain realms of limitations. Making all peaceful ones send out merchants like crazy is bad if they'll just be competed out (and India's COT have a lot of competition).
Generally though peaceful colonizers are also good a trade.
