Mississippi Trade Group (Wastelands: No More)

The Mississippi Trade Group is a trade association between the four nations that control part of the Mississippi River; the United States of Midwestern America, the Confederacy of Southern States, Vicksburg, and New France. It establishes the Mississippi River as a free trade zone, as well as the cities of New Orleans, Vicksburg, Memphis, and St. Louis as areas where goods can flow easily. Tariffs and taxes for trade along the Mississippi were also taken down with the signing of the Mississippi Trade Group. Along with the Greensboro Highway Trek on the East Coast and the 101 Trek on the West Coast, the Mississippi River is one of three ways for goods to be transferred in a north-south fashion in the former United States.

It has consolidated trade power mostly in the hands of New France, which controls New Orleans, the largest port city in the Gulf region, and has made it a regional power and competitor of other powers like South Mexico and Florida. The Omaha Economic Institute estimates the Mississippi River generates around 3.3 million dollars of trade revenue for the several nations and businesses that inhabit the region.

The 2135 renewal of the Mississippi Trade Group also included provisions to include subsidiaries for shipping companies such as the Gulf Hub Co.
