I hope they add the embargo mechanism for future VIC games
I'M SORRY IF THIS IS SUPPOSED TO GO TO THE PROPOSALS THREAD... I'M NEW AND NOT SURE WHERE TO PUT IT.
So... TBH, I don't understand why even when I produce the world's 60% of everything I still need to fight a actual war?
The industrial power of a nation seems to have added little to its overall brawn in this game. The point is simple: when you control the production of a strategically important good, you should be able to ban the export of this good to whoever you want and make them suffer. On the other hand, if someone is dumping cheap steel in your country but you don't feel comfortable having them controlling your steel supply, you should be able to ban the import of steel from that country (of course this could be somewhat realized by the current tariff system, but the tariff is just too broad)
Diplomatic Embargo:
The embargo can work in a way somewhat like the EUIV embargo, which is a diplomatic option. You target a specific country to embargo, and specify banning of export or import, and on which goods. This is a diplomatic choice that leads to lower relation, or possibly something like a crisis, if not handled properly, the "embargo-ee" gets a casus-belli against the "embargoer".
Embargo through Taxation:
Finally, it is imperative to have separate tariff rate for each good, and have separate import/export tariff (for each of them of course). Therefore, it is also important to have both a domestic and an international market for every good. The price could be different between every country's domestic market, as well as between any domestic market and the international market. This way, the big exporters of each good have a say on overall supply on international market, and therefore setting the price for international market. Therefore it could be a way to facilitate a worldwide embargo as well. This is an economic choice, and this way you don't worsen your relation with anyone.
Other Related Mechanisms:
Embargo Efficiency: This signifies how likely (or unlikely) goods will be illegally exported/imported from/to the country. This relates to government efficiency, economic policy (eg. planned economy makes embargo efficiency high), foreign investments, etc.
