Would it be possible to put a bit more in the way of lucrative trading close to the Red nation? As it is, our trade route is 2-12-5-9-7. Anything short of that doesn't make appreciable money (from 0-100c/unit to actually losing money on the 2-12 run). Contrast with two or three-jump runs from 7 for Gold and Blue, and you have Red as a trade union, and nothing else.
