Not something that would have any real effect on gameplay, but should probably be considered for consistancy in the news...

I would propose that Nverse stock exchanges would likely be at least:

Brandenburg (DKB)
New York (UNK)
London (UNK)
Paris (France)
Atlanta (CSA)
Caracas (GC)
Cromwell (GC-IC)
Vienna (Austria)
Durban (Orange)
Honolulu (NS)
Mundburg (Rohan)
Kyoto (Nippon)
Brussels (Netherlands)
Singapore (DEI)

Others...?

I've already got the politicians and military concentrated at Cartagena - I think the business types will be happier doing their thing over in Caracas.

There's probably also a stock exchange in Cromwell, a holdover from the Island Commonwealth era.

Ahoj!
I have the Bourse at Vienna. But I suppose the Hungarians set up one of their own at Buda, too ...

Rohan's would be I suppose Mundburg (Minas Tirith) as that was and probably still is one of the largest metropolitan areas of the Mark, and the Anduin River is navigatable up to that point.

London may be better as I seem to have moved to the british mainland

Kyoto Kabushiki Torihikijo (historically Japan's stock exchange was the  Tokyo Kabushiki Torihikijo in 1906) in... Kyoto (duh!).

Brussel, Amsterdam and Singapore are the main ones for the Netherlands.
In this era it seems logical to have more then one. :)

There may be one in San Francisco (Umbar) as that is supposedly a heavy trading city.

So many stock exchanges...  out of a desire to not overwhelm the number of exchanges... going to have to weigh what markets would be best to put the buisnesses of the Confederation on without opening another...

As Bavaria has Frankfurt, Habsburg or Kopenhagen would be the natural choices.
Hmm Habsburg, old Hanzeatic city ...

You can, but you should realize that there are a lot of them around at the moment:

Now, 1905 would be different and quite a few would not be around back then but I think that all the wealthier nations would have an exchange.
For you, being the Baltic Confederacy, the Stockholm Stock Exchange was founded in 1863 and "it is the primary securities exchange of the Nordic Countries."

Learn something new every day then!   Well then... at least I can say that it exists for commerce between the various states of the Confederation.
