Kial Sale Economy

The Economy of the Kial Sale is a complicated thing to define. It has all the trappings of a purely capitalist system, child labor allowed and everything but on the otherhand also shows routine government control in all sectors of industry.

Internal Economy
Every Kial clan has its own independent supply of resources it can use in the Home Cluster they do not have to rely on each other unless aiding a struggling clan to build back after war or disaster. The clan economies feed into the treasury of the empire through the taxation of interplanetary trade and communication.

The wealth of individual clans is balanced out since each clan owns only one mostly inhabited solar system. The central government is rather conservative on the expansion of more control over what the clans produce, leaving them open to curruption. To counter this the government can also act as a business. If prices are deemed too high in one part of the empire competing, government run businesses will be opened with lower prices and better products.

Foreign Trade
The Empire's biggest trading parter is the UNCA, exporting billions of tons of food to Human worlds and importing just as many tons of human technological and entertainment equipment. An interesting part of the equation is the fact that a full 30% of Kial live on human worlds, working as associates of Imperial companies or making a new life for themselves. These members are not known as Mad Clans because they still owe fealty to the emperor.
