Economy



Friland
The Frilandic economic system has both capitalist and corporatist characteristics, with a light tendency towards protectionism. It offers as much room for private initiative as possible but the interests of Frilandic businesses and labourers come first. Also, some companies that are of importance to the continuation of the state are nationalised or brought under government control by majority shareholding. Despite this many multinationals have found their way to the archipelago. Trade is mainly aimed at Ireland, Great Britain, the European mainland and North America.

    Guilds
    The Mediaeval guild system has not been abolished in Friland but was adapted to modern economy: guarding the quality of the products and exchanging knowledge and experience has remained, but the guilds are now opened to everybody, membership is no longer obligatory, making price agreements and creating a monopoly position are forbidden and mutual competition has to be guaranteed. These days the Frilandic guilds often play the role of a trade union.
