World Economy for the Age of Heroes

Below is an attempt to create a meaningful ecomomic system to set up exchange rates, imports and exports, and political alliances to help GMs build a world where a goat on one side of the world doesn't sell for the exact same number it is bought for. The systems below are nuanced and can feel complex. Omit them and use them as needed.

There is more than one civilized power in Chimera, and this makes buying and selling items from power to power much more flexible and potentially rewarding when considering one's Equipment . Therefore, along with specifying the alliance of these powers as well as their imports and exports, Chimera hopes to provide cultural and technological context for the world through a simplified view of its services and trade goods. These are such goods and services within the Age of Heroes.

Currencies of the Nations of Tara

Tara boasts a wide range of nations, as noted within the character creation's origins, see Origin Story for more details. Altogether, there are five major powers that have standardized a currency within their particular group or alliance. Below follows a list of these powers, their currency, the exchange rates with other nations, and then later each nations imports and exports.

Oath of Equity

Comprised of an alliance between Xis'Karyn, Owtla, and Queqiao. These nations use Düká (doo-KAH), symbolized as ( ₭ ). It comes in three variants, Güil (1000) Hjik (10) Mar (5).
An up and coming power, they have quickly risen through the ranks due to how welcoming they are of other races and new ideas. It is seen as a hub for entrepreneurs and those with a want for political power. Sadly, this has drawn a less savory crowd to its borders, as idealist nations oft tend to in their youth.

Crowns(ӂ) to Düká(₭)	1 : 5
Or(Ԅ) to Düká(₭)	10 : 1
Guilder(อ) to Düká(₭)	2 : 1

Antimagus Alliance

Comprised of an alliance between the Ievlen Empire, and the Plexupalities of Schol. These nations use Griffes, symbolized as ( Є ), a currency initiated by the Patriarch and Matriarch of Ievlen to hunt the Griffons that "plagued" their land for a time, when really it was to rid the area of magical beasts. It has four variants: Lord (100) , Lady (50), Son (10), Daughter (5).
While despising all forms of magic, the Alliance is generally fair and even at times generous when it comes to exchanging currencies.

The Dominion

Comprised of only the Crownlands. They use Crowns, symbolized as ( ӂ ). It comes in three variants: Aurum (1000), Argen (100), and Verde (10).
Those within the Dominion pride themselves on being an economic powerhouse with the only visible competitor to them being the Ievlen Empire. Whether out of spite or truthful economics, all currencies are simply worth less when exchanged in the Dominion.

Biringan Pacts

Comprised of an alliance between the tribe of Biringan, the Ykalu, and other various tribes. These nations use Or (OHr), symbolized as ( Ԅ ). It comes in two variants: Amr (5) Umbal (1).
The Pacts are known to be fairly poor when it comes to economic standing, thus its low exchange rate with the other powers. They remain on equivalent exchange with The Heroes Guild due to how much help the Pacts tend to ask of the Guild.
Other Currencies to Or

Guilder(อ) to Or(Ԅ)	1 : 1

The Heroes Guild

Comprised of a coalition between all but a handful of Heroes Guilds across the various alliances. They use Guilder, which has become a universally accepted currency based on deeds done within a respected guild. This currency is symbolized by ( อ ). Guilder comes in 2 main variants: Hence (1), Pence (5), Decim (10) and Centim/"Cent" (100).
The Guilder is a well-rounded currency, accepted anywhere. However, it tends to values when exchanged with other currency since none of the other currencies purely set on the basis of a meritocracy. The story is a little different when accepting the currencies of other nations into that of Guilder:

Trade of an Alliance: Imports and Exports

There a several main categories of trade good between the alliances: 1) Arcanic Equipment, Goods, and Services, 2) Machinery, 3) Vehicles, 4) Fuel, 5) Medicine, 6) Furniture, 7) Gems and Precious Metals, 8) Agricultural Goods, 9) Spices, 10) Textile Goods, 11) Livestock, 12) Lumber, 13) Building Equipment, Resources, and Services, 14) Education, 15) Cosmetics, 16) Beverages, 17) Armament Equipment, Goods, and Services. More categories can of course be added, but these are meant to note further, beyond that of exchange rates, what kinds of goods are values more or less between the various alliances. Note, When selling items that an alliance imports, they will be bought for a greater amount (double the price). Conversely, when selling items that an alliance exports, they will be bought for a lesser amount (half the price).
