That means we use books as currency right? Not quite. The economy, from the simulation’s perspective, is a matter of role play. In reality, Uantir has only one commodity: creativity. Ideas make Uantir grow. Artistic, scientific and literary endeavors are the soul and backbone of our nation. The more creativity an Aristocrat can produce, the wealthier they are. With wealth comes prestige, title, land, and influence. “Literary” may sound restrictive, but as 80% of internet content is text based, it is the most appropriate term. Anything that contributes to Uantir’s culture counts, anything. Art, video, radio, music, fiction, research, histories, web design, forum activity, news reports, foreign relation, economic, statistic, &tc. If it makes Uantir more interesting than another micronation, it strengthens the Literary Economy. It also works as a guideline to reward those who enrich the nation. Someone who writes and has detailed articles on their Manor but a small forum presence is comparable to someone with moderate forum presence and so on.
