#TheDragonblood: The gods regulate the offerings of magic that are made to them in prayer. Taxes, basically. Gnaramater prefers to use that magic philanthropically, giving it back to the people who need it most. Deiuoreks prefers to pocket it for himself. (1/4)

#TheDragonblood: Sabrina, aka the goddess Gnaramater, is part of Nemoria's oligarchy of gods. She's the one who brings Felix to the magical world. She also sends Aimetor on a quest to get the dragons' aid in the upcoming First Akewan War. (1/5)
May have to forgo the catch-up on #FebruaryWorldbuilders, haha and just launch straight into March. Backlog of about five days otherwise!
Been sick the last few days, so I sadly missed a good few #FebruaryWorldbuilders. Hopefully I can catch up on March prompts!

This has massive implications. Especially when countries who use magical means to supply things they lack in natural mundane resources leverage this ability to undercut trade (1/?)
This was awesome and I totally missed that it was the last day of Feb. Thanks for having a great #FebruaryWorldbuilders.

Capitalism left with the Synacrans. Bartering is common, but most everyone has and does their share. Land ownership is dead. Earth is Mellea.
Thanks for hosting, @kiraofthewind.com! I don't do a ton of world building so, this was really useful!

The Imperial government is indeed involved in the economy. Noble families get a lot of advantages and concessions over regular traders, and have monopolies over certain things.
#FebruaryWorldbuilders
I've mentioned before that the Alliance is largely a forum for the brokerage & implementation of trade agreements. Continental trade has always existed, but the combination of Alliance treaties & subsidized Gate-tech research has resulted in unprecedented enrichment.
#FebruaryWorldbuilders 28. Great question! int he world of comsonaut, the government IS the Economy. For the most part it is a command economy, apart from the USSA which functions as a semi-market and semi-command economy. Privately owned businesses are illegal in the USSA, with major industries

The inciting incident is 100% due to the machinations of the Alliance knights & by extension the Alliance itself.
While the driving force of the plot is Selba's determination to do her version of "the right thing," the knights are the ones who placed her in this situation.

Inverted relationship. The corporations basically run the Council via corruption. Thus, it's more accurate to say that the economy controls the government. If the corpos want something, they get it.

in the mountains of B, forged with dragon fire and exported at steep prices. There aren't many places in the human world where dragons are as welcome as they are in B. They can't become Lords or Kings, but can vote and run their own Guild as they please.

The Mages also have free pass across all borders in the human world.
If you're wondering where the dragons are in relation to B, they're in the Blacksmiths Guild, obviously. They made the Sword and Crown. The special metal they used for them is mined

it's agreed that it should be freely shared. This is why some of the taxes in all nations go to them - they're paid to keep learning and teaching. They get bonuses when they share something that's really beneficial for a lot of people.

28: What impact, if any, does your world’s government have on the economy?
The Messenger's Guild is responsible for trade deals. The only Guild exempt from trade laws are the Mages.
Since their trade is knowledge,

The gov't is situated in a more metropolitan setting than the rest of AElit. Therefore it demands much from the agriculture, the craftsmen, etc. If you can sell to the capital/temples, you're sitting pretty. But they can also negotiate lower prices because of competition.
#FebruaryWorldbuilders
The government is involved in the sense that the government is a mix of landed gentry and wealthy merchants, so they have very personal interests in making sure the economy is healthy.
#FebruaryWorldbuilders
#FebruaryWorldbuilders Although Tëilachelst society is stateless, they do self-organize into councils, some of which would regulate the economy and markets. Laborers own the means of production. 🧵

WIP 1: Much like in real life, Japan is very strict about what imports it accepts. On the whole the world is also more militarized and weapons trades are more common.
The 7 Empires is strange in what it restricts economically. Generally speaking-
#FebruaryWorldbuilders 28 Plutocracy's are the economy, corporations have cemented themselves as necessary for human survival; so company profit = better odds & they've actually got it positioned so yes, if a company goes down so does everyone else
Monopolies babyyy

Oh…
Oh HONEY…
The government in the 5GC IS the economy.
This is an oligarchy. Everything they do is motivated by the movement of money, goods, and services. The Commonwealth is not much more than a corporate conglomerate.
In Hell? Food taxes keep the angels rich.🤷♀️

All three galactic nations have massive impacts on their economies. Hegemonic Houses in particular are fueled primarily by their economy. The Empire limits its wartime industries as little as possible in order to compete. The Federation also has few regulations in place

Danny doesn't see any economic impact from the war in Empaeria.
It does affect life here as evil grows and influences aessence across the veil.

A pretty big impact, seeing as a lot of governments are feudal in Re: Shattered Memories. And even those that aren't make laws regulating trade and get involved in colonialism in many cases.

And there so little cultural drive for profit and success, few people ever run up against the limits of markups. Money exists, but especially in smaller towns and villages most people simply barter with their neighbors for what they need.

#FebruaryWorldbuilders
The Alliance Government both does and does not have a massive impact on its economics.
The government mandates limited markups, free housing to those who need it, free education in both academics and trade, among other policies.

Concentrating on Fae here, the government itself (which are mostly nobility class) has a much smaller impact on the economy than the merchant class do.
