So after the long exhausting days of battle, I decided that a break was needed. I never realized how much damage takes place during a war until I started one! Ironically, I was on the winning side of things, so the other rulers, like Caesar, Gandhi, Peter, and Kublai Kan must have endured substantially more.
While taking a break, I began improving my empire internally. Military tradition was still intact; however, I needed more of a unified civilization then a bunch of separated kingdoms. Unlike the Roman Empire which expanded more then it could control, I sought for a way to bring all of these diversified cultures together. My solution was through Nationhood. Granted, it started a revolution, yet I found the result momentous. Having a nationhood meant that I could have a relatively large group of people organized under a single, independent country/ government. So now that my government was reestablished, it was time to work on the economy.
There were several factors to consider for my empire's market. For instance, where was the invisible hand? I needed to make incentives for my people to work hard, build, invent, and flourish. The goal was to create marketplaces to locally trade, invent fun attractions for civilians to enjoy, while at the same time increase culture and revenue. In the meantime, it was also critical to have the people want to have these attractions or to need to buy my products. The basic reason for any sort of economic failure is partly rooted in the change of people's desires.
For this reason, After studying these various factors, I knew a free market society would be perfect.
Unfortunately there truly is no way to know whether this free market society will sustain. History and research can only do so much... with that in mind I'm constantly overlooking the economy to check for problems or cracks in the system. Hopefully, all will work out when I declare my next war.
