TRADE [TECH]

Trade among the player nations of Aurora is currently in a period of transition. The possibility of a ECO SIM (economic simulation) is in the brainstorming stage. Such a simulation promises to redefine the way IMAGINATIONS is played.

Until then, we continue to use the term trade loosely. For the most part trade only supplements the story line of the nation. It has  no economic value in game play. 

It is still important to use trade as a means of developing a realist story line.

Hibernia is a very small nation. Perhaps second in size only to Teknikratioj. The economy can be compared to other small *real* nations such as Ireland, Japan, and Switzerland.

Most raw materials must be imported. Hibernian exports, such as automobiles,  depend on quality and style to distinguish themselves from a relatively flooded market.

Hibernia is not an economic power. The islands are primarily rural and life is very simple. Hibernia has a small population. Strong work ethic, strong military traditions, and a well trained, pseudo military, civilian population sets the Hibernian quality of life high.
