I would disagree...the East India Company was attempting to conduct commerce and make a profit. They were also ruling India. Commerce is a VERY broad catagory. A mercenary company is a facet of commerce.

I could see a boring game that would focus on Chartered Public Accountancy...but for every such example I can think of a couple that could or might be fun.

Trading Places could have been a boring explanation of the futures market...

Edit: Further thought; I am no lawyer but looking as a historian at the number of things the Federal Government is involved in via the Commerce Clause is truly breathtaking. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commerce_Clause
