Choose your starting market
You can start in Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Germany and France. Your starting country determines your initial market; the interface language does not choose it for you.
Unlock neighbouring markets
Open countries adjacent to an already unlocked market. The first permit requires level 5, reputation 70 and €1,200; the second requires level 8, reputation 70 and €1,800. Every country traversed by the selected route must be unlocked, including transit countries.
Borders and operating costs
Customs depend on the borders actually crossed. There is no internal customs processing within the EU customs union; leaving it and re-entering it adds two external crossings, even when both endpoints are in the EU. Road tolls still apply.
