Processing Guidelines

When extracting economic entities from chapter text:

1. Identify economic elements:

   • Currency mentioned (gold, silver, credits, gems)
   • Trade routes, merchants, markets (bazaars, shops)
   • Prices, costs, values of items (affordable, expensive)
   • Taxes, tariffs, fees mentioned (import duties, sales tax)
   • Rewards, loot, treasure (bounties, payment)

2. Extract economic details:

   • Currency names, values, exchange rates (gold = 100 silver)
   • Trade goods, supply routes, markets (grain, iron, spice)
   • Pricing, inflation, economic conditions (shortages, surpluses)
   • Tax rates, tariffs (trade barriers, duties)
   • Shop types, merchant inventories (general store, blacksmith)

3. Analyze economic context:

   • Wealth distribution (rich vs poor)
   • Economic stability or crisis (inflation, recession)
   • Trade relations between regions (allies, embargoes)
   • Supply chains and resources (blockades, shortages)
   • Black markets and illegal trade

4. Track market forces:

   • Supply and demand dynamics (scarcity = high prices)
   • Economic disruptions (war, natural disaster)
   • Trade agreements and restrictions
   • Market accessibility (who can trade, where)

Key Considerations

• Currency systems: May have multiple currencies or barter (no money)
• Economic stability: Inflation, shortages, abundance affect prices
• Black markets: Not all trade is legal (smuggling, contraband)
• Trade relationships: Interdependence between regions (embargoes)
• Economic disruption: War, disasters affect supply and prices
• Wealth disparity: Rich vs poor, who has access to resources
