The history of whaling in the seas around the empire goes back centuries, but the advent of modern fishing techniques now means the great beasts are hunted in ever increasing numbers. Whale oil is less used for lighting these days, but the meat and blubber still finds many applications, and is considered a delicacy on some shores, especially around {0} and {0}. Most find the practice an outrage though, and call for its prohibition. What is your choice?
Our whaling infrastructure will need to be dismantled and sold, but most will be happy.
Quotas will ensure healthy stocks of this magnificent animal remain in the seas, while securing the future of |MyEmpire| and |MyWhalingCities|.
Our culture is steeped in the traditions of whaling and all that is harvested from the catch. We will not relent.
