The Procellian Economy
--------
With the exception of Urru private enterprise is strictly limited in the Empire. As part of their socialist revolution their economy is now run by state companies, which are managed by workers and their unions.
This unique system of worker run companies allows competition between different companies, while under the watchful eye of the federal government. Under their socialist system the nation has also adopted central planning, though after some trial an error the Central Planning commission has now begun delegating goals to unions without specific numbers. Which has allowed more local control over production.
In addition the government issues "Necessity Books" to every citizen annually. These books are catalogues of the offerings of the national industry's and using the vouchers in the book the citizens pre-order what they want for the next year. This includes all necessities that are nonperishable such as clothes and school supplies. During this six month shopping window citizens order their items online and this demand is factored in to the central planning.
Although many people criticise the lack of options, with most items only having four or less variants, the system has been kept for its stability. Unlike Urru, where the economy is notorious for dramatic ups and downs, the homeland sees very little economic change even at the worst of times.
Their central planning has also reduced waste down to a small percentage, since excess is limited. It is not unheard of for factories to close down for three months and send their employees on paid leave simply because they've met their quotas and the central planning commission doesn't have any work for them.
