+## Current best idea:
+
+We can do sea lane protection by overloading the wartime supply route mechanism. Since
+ the clearance and safe-maintenance of such wartime supply routes also entails their protection in peace time (to ensure that they need not be cleared when war urgency demands their usage), then it becomes in the interest of other nations to manufacture and supply raw materials and products that are used by 'WS".
+
+Of course the supply route asset shall designate the business, assets and personnel who are considered cassus belli. It definitely shall not designate nations or their governments.
+
+## Alternatives:
+
 The idea is that we could sell protection to ships for income?
 
 This fixes the "protection of sea lanes" problem. It also gives us a direct mandate to patrol the seas.
