Perhaps a compromise could be made here. New Shulus should be returned to me, a Canadian, which is kinda half Euro and half American. Everyone will agree to never, ever attack it, so I won't have to sit there but can keep my army in the field. I'll visit once in awhile to collect the hundreds of thousands of silver I'll earn doing nothing.
This way Europe and Acre still have their trade fief, and the Squids will be delighted that it is in NA hands once again. I took it from the Europeans (well, AI, but the defender was Euro), and perhaps I should get it back.
USA (and Canada)! USA (and Canada)! USA (and Canada)! USA (and Canada)! USA (and Canada)! USA (and Canada)! USA (and Canada)!
