    Default Industries.

    What sort of industries are there in Eizon?

    I take dibs on silk, paper, glass and porcelain. <_< >_>

    Someone else can take spices. The food of Zhem won't be half-rotten meat in need of too much pepper, like in the Europe of the middle-ages. >:o

    Anyhow. Make up an industry!

    Zhemite fabric... which is basically denim. Popular among sailors and labourers.
    EDIT: And it's made of hemp, of course. >_> <_<

    I call all forms of mining, especially Spice Mining. I get C3PO and R2-D2, too.

    Spice is a scourge. Hyper-active third eyes? Ugh.

    I think mining should be well within Vanian's reaches as well, seeing as we have a rather large mountain range. Gotta be SOME nice raw materials SOMEWHERE in there.

    How can you take dibs on industries unless you have the natural resources to start them? :rolleyes:

    Since I no longer have much to do with trade (Metareason is no longer a corporation, now it is an academy of learning), I suppose it doesn't affect me to any great extent anymore. But seriously, folks, you can't just be pulling stuff out of nowhere. If your land has the natural resources, great, you can use them - if they don't, you have to pull a Japanese economy, import the raw materials, and turn them into finished goods efficiently enough to overcome import/export tariffs and pull a profit.

    edit:
    OOC:I don't have privs to start a thread, but should we discuss ambassadorships?

    ACH, but silk, paper, glass and, I think, porcelain are NOT tied into ummovable sources! Silk comes from silkworms, paper from trees, glass from sand and porcelain.. From bone and clay and stuff. These things require only technique and knowledge - not a lot of raw resources. >

    I'll make a thread about ambassadorship.

    Depending if magic is a natural resource as well as some sort of planetary force, then I'll have to start a few magic mines, as well as infrastructural industries such as stone mining and construction.

    Yeah... does magic exist or not? Because if it does, then you have to establish rules for using it, such as you have to be appropriately trained in using magic - you can't just extract it out of the ground like FFVIII. So you have to enroll in Metareason Academy, the world's only established institution of learning with an acclaimed School of Magic.

    Since we don't have a map of resources, it's impossible to tell who has access to what. However, most resources are pretty easy to obtain, so it might be best to assume that every nation produces paper, silk etc. with only very rare materials being exclusive to a certain region.

    PFFT, this is SO false. I posted MY Academy some time before this post, and I can tell you, we at the Academy of Zhem can do BETTER than those at Metareason.
