Trying to post this for the second time.  AOL is not working well at all.  Anyhow, I’ve figured an economic system for the Great Kingdom, taken from Ivid the Undying and WOG (1983), plus filling in the gaps—example: if Atirr exports weapons, it must make them, and to make them, it must have a source of iron and a source of energy—coal or charcoal.  Since there is no forest around, it must have coal.

In reading the import/export list, note that the more important trading partners come first, and their more trading commodities come before the less important ones.  The first section, laying out what the area produces, is organized by the type of activity, not it’s importance (gps).

The Adri Forest is unlikely to export or import very much.  But they need weapons, so they’re going to export something to get them.  I figure the export/import ideas I laid out would satisfy that need.  They’d be pretty important to the people of the Adri (probably the humans do the trading), but not very important to the surrounding areas—how much demand for blueberry preserves could there be, after all?
