Policies

No idling: colonists push through low recreation, and chafe under it.

All goods are shared: the internal market is closed and colonists trade nothing privately.

Every worker earns the same wage for the same work, regardless of skill.

Smaller portions: the colony consumes less food, and grumbles about it.

Longer shifts: more gets done, but the colony resents the grind.

A communal labor ethic: work is shared duty, and no silver wages are paid.

Generous trade terms clear more deals, but unsettle the thrifty.

The colony resolves to share its surplus more evenly.

Mastery pays: more skilled workers earn proportionally higher wages.
