章 425: Naval Handover Ceremony

23rd January 1657

Dakshin Bhartiya Empire, the state of Cheranadu, Thiruvananthapuram Special Economic Zone.

As the only trading port with export trading in mind and as the special economic zone established exclusively for trade with the Europeans, Thiruvananthapuram played a crucial role in facilitating international commerce. For this reason, the port city has expanded to such a size that, in terms of market scale, it is second only to the capital city, Hampi. Fortunately, due to the city's infrastructure constantly being updated, congestion was not caused, logistics delays were avoided, and there were no bottlenecks in the city that could have led to an overall decrease in trade with the Europeans.
