Selgate border-trade household
Mara Delen and her brother run a small customs and produce business in Selgate. Mara's spouse drives to Cordaine; their mother keeps accounts and a nephew attends a bilingual school. The household rents a mixed-use property near Greenford Border and uses a van shared with two neighbouring families. Weeks are structured by market days, border queues, school transport, irrigation seasons and calls to relatives across the border.
They depend on customs offices, Waverlynd Cross Border Logistics, Green Table suppliers, a treaty-adjacent language service and the local clinic. Mara wants stricter documentation to protect the business; her brother depends on informal flexibility to survive delays. Their current pressure is a new inspection regime that slows food while rewarding larger carriers. Their trajectory is either incorporation into a national logistics chain or a local traders' legal challenge.
