Economy

The Empire is the largest economy in the galaxy. It is the only superpower with a capitalistic system and really the only one to measure its economy on any kind of scale. It's position is undisputed as both the Union and the Order have largely different systems. The former has no private sector and lacks currency in the forms familiar to the Empire. The Order's system, on the other hand, is simply too inefficient and primitive to compete with the Empire. The Empire has been the center of galactic trade for thousands of years and all of the galaxy's most important trade routes are controlled by Alsatians. Throughout the years, the Empire has gathered huge concentrations of wealth focusing especially in its capital, which leaves nothing to be questioned.

The Imperial Reserve

The Imperial Reserve is the Empire's central bank. It's duties are to conduct the Empire's monetary policy, supervise and regulate banking institutions and to maintain the stability of the Empire's financial system. It also maintains the Empire's reserves of gold, a mineral, which high value is recognized all over the galaxy.

The Denarius

The Denarius is the Imperial currency, monitored and maintained by the Imperial Reserve, that sees wide use in the galaxy due to the Imperial control of many important trade routes. A single Denarius is the basic unit of the system. It divides into 10 Assarii. While most of currency transactions have been digitalized long ago, coins see large use in the Empire as well. Coins in production are: Semis (0.05 Denarii, bronze), Assarius (0.1 Denarii, bronze), Sesterius (2.5 Denarii, silver), Denarius (1 Denarii, silver) and Aureus (25 Denarii, gold). Bills are also issued, worth of 5, 10, 20, 100, 200 and 500 Denarii.

The Denarius is the dominating currency in all of galactic east and used videly throughout the galaxy due to the Empire's position as the galaxy's economical superpower.

Stock Exchanges

Multiple large stock exchanges operate in the Empire. The Imperial Central Stock Exchange is the largest in the galaxy. The ICSE is located on Alsatia and it lists the galaxy's biggest companies. Other than that, there's planetary stock exchanges and the Imperial Colonial stock exchange, which lists the Empire's colonies.
