aldersprig: (CyaSmile)
went like this:

- Cya starts trade routes relatively early on, as soon as she has trade goods in the city
- because of the climate control, Cloverleaf can produce crops not otherwise available that far north.
- Ooh, flour sacks. They have cotton... https://blog.etsy.com/en/2011/feed-sacks-a-sustainable-fabric-history/, http://www.buchanancountyhistory.com/feedsack.php
- (From that thinking about IRL examples skipped to)
- Baby Boxes: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-22751415, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maternity_package
- Cya does a lot of basic-standard-of-life stuff, I bet they do this
- there are probably unwanted children. State-run creche/adoption center? Probably
- what about abortion? Oh, bog, abortion.
- "Government cheese" and basic rations? Still thinking about details here
- Free hostel-style housing, free xx months in actual housing - not designed to eliminate poverty but to eliminate some of the horrors of poverty
- booming fabrics market as well as the custom-made fashion set by people like our printing-press guy
- And BOOKS! Entertainment! !!
- Spices, spices are very important
- how much of the means of production does our dictator control? How much does she allow to be controlled by the elected government? (how much of a fascism is she okay with and does she slowly relinquish control?)

Side note: I figured out why she runs it as a dictatorship!
