I love the idea of hundreds of small civilizations whose only record of existing is like going to war with Rome/Byzantine Empire or something having an accurate tally of all trades that occur domestically.
I’d bet that a majority of this money comes from financial trickery: trading stocks and tokens and loans just as a means of multiplying money without labor.
That’s the story of this line: through debt based economic systems, the rich learned that they could multiply their money in a way that poor people could never. Really helped create a kinder, gentler subjugation.
