Vaikan economy

The Dhragolon economy relies primarily on the mining industry. In fact, the majority of Dhragolon colonies are mining outposts with a military outpost in orbit to serve as defense. Of the 40,000 total colonies, only several thousand are habitable planets.

Overview
While each Ucharpli nation has their own way of handling the economy, the overarching economy repesenting the Federal Monarchy of Allied Sovereign Nations follows a version of the laissez-faire principle. It is highly chaotic and unpredictable with businesses constantly struggling with one another to compete for the top. The Earl of Commerce is responsible for managing the current tax rates and overseeing the colonial representatives who in turn oversee individual businesses.

Large businesses within the FMASN are more or less small nations of themselves responsible for their employees. Civil wars between businesses are not uncommon as a result especially between groups of small businesses versus large monopolies. As a result, most businesses have their own private armies of synthetics which can fight these battles. The government does not step in directly to solve these disputes and wars unless the law is directly violated. However, the government themselves is not allowed to endorse one particular side.

Although businesses are free to compete with one another, the government demands a flat tax rate to be able to provide enough funding for the Federal Legion, Internal Guard and other government programs. The actual rate differs from colony to colony.

Currency
The local currency takes the physical shape of a coin known as the "Ckon". The Ckon is about 1.5 times the value of the Nra, the galactic standard currency. Higher worth coins have precious gems imbued into their centers.


 * Gold - 1 ckon


 * Amethyst - 8 ckon


 * Sapphire - 16 ckon


 * Emerald - 32 ckon


 * Ruby - 64 ckon


 * Diamond - 128 ckon

Corporations
T'szira Spice Co. is the largest spice company created by the Dhragolon. Owned by the T'szira family, the company has outposts on nearly every colony. It was originally founded in 160 4E and is still recognized as the one of the galaxy's most successful trading companies even after 7,000 years.

Supply

 * Minerals - Unrefined ores and gems are the Dhragolon's biggest source of trading material among themselves and other empires.
 * Copper
 * Iron
 * Diamond
 * Dragonrock
 * Iridium
 * Spice - The Dhragolon trade a spice known as Elpur, or purple spice. The majority of Dhragolon colonies are indeed purple spice colonies.


 * Oil - The Dhragolon actually do not use a lot of petroleum themselves. Instead, they trade it to other empires since they rely on an entirely different energy source.

Demand

 * Noble gases -Noble gases and their isotopes serve as a power source for starships and heavy weapons. The Dhragolon derive Maj from this substance, and they are in high demand.
 * Helium-3
 * Nitrogen
 * Radon
 * Deuterium
 * Adrenaline - A black market drug high in demand. While harmless (and sometimes beneficial) to other species, excessive adrenaline will put a Dhragolon into a frenzy mode. The Adrenaline Cartels trade other materials in exchange for this drug.
