Qumir Canals: Difference between revisions

There was one small problem with the decision to switch completely to canal control. It was soon realized that the currency of Canespa being food was horribly inefficient. The canal companies had no idea what to do with the extra food after they had paid their workers. Additionally what if the product produced by the companies or people using the canals was not food, how would they pay up. Through heavy influence from the Qumir Companies the government was persuaded to create a true currency that the nation could thrive off of. Due to convenience the company of Burgundie was formally adopted due to its highly usable nature and the close to home use that it already had. This was enough to truly let the economy of Canespa thrive. Control of the canals became much easier and much more profitable. This would cause large areas to become completely controlled by certain companies. All of these companies had interconnected deals and connected canals but it soon caused different zones to be set up in Canespian society. There was the Kanchi zone, the Papa zone, and most profitable of all there was the Extranjero zone. The nature of the Extranjero zone was quickly realized to be the most profitable of any. No matter where in the country you produced your food and no matter which manufacturer you took it had to go through the Extranjero zone if you wanted to export it. Due to this nature the Extranjero zone quickly tried to hike prices due to the demand for its area. This was quickly detested by the other Qumir Companies and the subject was taken to an early version of the Canespian court system that followed relatively similar rules and costumes. The following case was heavily influenced by the Wasi King as he believed that the area should not be controlled by any one company due to the highly monopolizable nature of the area. By 1811 the case was settled. The Extranjero zone would mostly be sold to the government for pennies and the some smaller slices of the company that had controlled it were diced out to other Qumir Companies. In exchange the former owners of the company were personally compensated and lived luxurious lives. All previous workers would become government employees if their jobs were still needed in the area and if they weren't they were to be hired by the other companies in exchange for the de-monopolization of the area. The opening up of this area would ensure for a century that Canespa would be one of the best places in the world for business startups. But it only did last a century. The Qumir Companies may have been the biggest thing the nation had seen up to that point but it would in no way prepare them for the monster that was outstretching its long grasping tentacles. The next portion of the Qumir Canals history would be defined by one word. It would all be put in a basket, a Canasta basket.
