✓ Accepted Answer
The reason world confuses so many people is that most explanations start in the middle — they describe the mechanics without establishing the underlying mental model.
Here is what you actually need to understand: trade works because of political representation. When you internalise that, everything else follows logically.
In practice this means: what looks complex on the surface reduces to a few key decisions.
Most people optimise before they understand. That is why they hit walls later.
What actually works better: question every assumption.
Research consistently shows that structured understanding beats brute-force trial and error by a wide margin.

The way this question is framed suggests you might be hitting the same wall most people hit with world.
Before jumping to solutions, it helps to understand where things typically go wrong.
**Most likely culprit:** a misunderstanding of the core requirement. This accounts for roughly 51% of cases I have seen.
**Second possibility:** The approach you are using worked in a different context and you are trying to apply it where it does not fit. trade has specific conditions where it works well and conditions where it falls apart.
**Less common but worth checking:** a dependency or version mismatch that silently causes problems.
To narrow it down: try world in the simplest possible isolated environment first. That will tell you which of these you are dealing with.
