Nations with large trade income modifier?

[Halaberiel]

So I'm playing as the Hansa & their trade income modifier is really really big, around 165% I believe currently for me. Are there any other nations with similarly large income modifiers that I can try? The other trade republics that I played has less I believe. The Hansa actually seems to have the best trade bonuses of any nation, what do you think?

Are there any countries that don't start as trade republics that get the decision? Really enjoy playing merchant republics but already tried all the base ones. How about at different time periods? Can you play Italy as a merchant republic?

Cheers

Venice is pretty good isn't it?

Genoa gets pretty ridiculous too, especially after all those mercantilism missions adding up

Looking at it theres like a 5-15% difference between the Hansa & most others with trade modifiers. It's that Lubeck Krantor that is so good. No one else has 25% base trade income modifier afaik. I seem to have a "trade power increase" of 15% from something though, can't quite work out what it is from.

At the mo I have 60% tech | 20% ahead tech | 10% ambitions | 10% trade policy (trade ideas) | +5+10% from Lubeck | 10% trade company boom (temporary) | 10% fast negotiations (trade ideas) | 5% East India trade route | 15% trade income increase

I have no idea where the last modifier is from, anyone know?
