EU4 Achievement Inspired AHC: Consulate of the Sea

[Noblesse Oblige]

So as an inspiration to another EU4 Inspired AHC, I figure to give another one, this time involving Aragon.

There's an achievement related to this country in the game called Consulate of the Sea, which as Aragon you must directly control all Mediterranean Centers of Trade. While this may seem ASB, there probably was some basis in the idea as the Crown of Aragon, as a thalassocratic empire of sorts did control some holdings all across the Mediterranean, from Valencia to Athens, from Javois to Palermo. So it wouldn't seem out of place for Aragon to achieve this.

So, with a PoD no earlier than 3 September 1412, the day Ferdinand of Trastamara was elected King of Aragon, have Aragon manage to control trade, either directly or through clients over the entirety of the Mediterranean Sea.

Aragon inherits the throne Naples and the latter goes on a conquest spree in the Greek Crusader states, forming close ties to the Hungarians and eventually aiding them in a massive crusade of their own against the Ottoman Turks and gaining financial dominance in the Straits (even if political rule is handed to the Hungarians or stays with the Greeks). From there Aragon-Naples has the financial upper hand in handling the Italians...
