For those who haven't been playing the Fasttrack beta versions of Supreme Ruler 2030, we just wanted to share details of a feature that's in development - Sanctions have been added to the game.
In version 12.1.1268 and later, regions can enact trade sanctions on other regions. Sanctions can only be applied to the entire set of products, you cannot sanction single commodities. This simulates cutting off economic ties with a region, and will stop them from requesting diplomatic trades with your region as well as applying a markup to their purchase cost and reduce their selling price, relative to the percentage of world production that region produces.
Sanctions must be enabled in the scenario settings or in the settings popup in game
Relationship Changes
Imposing sanctions on a region will negatively affect the relationships with that region, similar to Support Opposition found in some alert messages. When your allies sanction a region that you have not sanctioned, relationships between you and your ally will degrade over time, until you join the sanction. AI allies will weigh the relationships and choose which side to join, favoring their allies.
World Market Sanctions
Once a certain percentage of world market member regions have sanctioned a region, they will be unable to auto import / export from the world market. Regions are more likely to sanction others on harder difficulties.
Market Tariffs
Once a region has been sanctioned, the market price for commodities will be affected by the amount of total world supply they are cut off from. If 100% of a commodities producers have sanctioned a region, they pay the maximum tariff, currently defaulted to 100%, meaning they will have a 200% market cost when buying and a 50% price when selling.
The ongoing design notes of this feature will be posted on our SupremeWiki site;

We're looking for feedback on this system, so if anyone is playing the fasttrack builds, please let us know what you think! If you like the feature, please take a few minutes to leave a review for the game and tell others what you thing of it.
