Historically, coalitions were defined by their allegiances to other nations ESPECIALLY in times of war. USA's support for UK (even prior to official war with Germany) prevented USA from selling/trading with Germany. After declaration of war none of the allied nations would trade with the "other" factions.
Why is this not reflected in War Declarations or Market Trade.
Proposal:
When a member of a Coalition declared war on any other state, other members receive MANDATORY option before they can proceed (before they can give any further orders) to either JOIN that war, or BREAK ALLEGIANCE with that member and leave that coalition.
This would prevent Member A of Coalition declaring war on Player B, while other members of Player A's coalition buy resources from Player B and then give to Player A. This would create Trade Embargo's vs Coalitions, not just individual players.
AI players would continue as they are (exempt from this effect).
Simply put, Trade Embargos and War Decs are against against Coalitions, not just individual countries.
