Economy Tab

The Economy tab defines how resources, trade, and wealth work in your world. Economic systems affect what characters can do and what motivates them.

Fields

Economic System How does the economy work? Capitalism, feudalism, barter, socialism, or something unique to your world. The system shapes opportunities and constraints for your characters.

Currency What is the medium of exchange? Coins, paper money, digital credits, barter goods, or something exotic like souls or memories. Currency tells readers about what your world values.

Trade Routes How do goods move through your world? Major trade routes create opportunities for travel, conflict, and cultural exchange. Disrupted trade can drive plots.

Professions What work do people do? Common jobs, guilds, and career paths. Knowing the professions helps you populate your world with realistic characters.

Wealth Distribution Who has resources and who doesn’t? The gap between rich and poor, social mobility, and how wealth is accumulated. This shapes your characters’ starting points and aspirations.

Tips
