Creation Corner: Country Creation - Economy

Creation Corner: Join us as we continue to develop more of the fictional country of Trand. This time, we tackle the economy. It's another meaty subject, but we had a lot of fun chatting about it, and think it'll be helpful for DMs to develop their own games. We hope you enjoy it!
We do reference the Vardalon wiki in this episode, and particularly the page dedicated to the country of Trand. We also pull up the Wikipedia page for Finland. It may help to have both open as you listen.
