And thus begins the power struggle between the Isle of man and Spain! Who will emerge victorious?

If I was a betting man I would choose Spain!

Their influence is mostly held by 2 men. Both of which are merchants. When I left to go reclaim my sovereignty, I left with around 18.5 million influence, this severely hurt their overall hold on many ports, since I was among the top 10 I'm theirs. I'd be willing to gamble on Isle of Man, due to their enormous voodoo capacity. Spain takes a more isolationist strategy. I was instrumental in the loss of several of our ports. I staunchly refused to allow take-overs if my influence was affected.
