Oh... right. Money, language. One common language, or fragmented regional languages? Same with money. Everyone uses the same, or does each country have its own? Would towns on the border take money from both countries?

Would towns on the border take money from both countries? Different languages, with the Jorkun Pact alone having like four or five different languages. But Cleatian is widely used and accepted (think Latin back during the peak of the Roman Empire's power). As for money, what currency a shopkeeper accepts depends on location and personal preference. You're not likely to find someone in Shiryu who will accept currency from someolace in the Jorkun Pact, being that they're so far away, but that doesn't mean it's impossible either. But in Alibab and Cleatia that are close to everything or at least do a lot of trading, most vendors probably accept three or al four countries' currencies. Hold on, I recall that the Cleatian Empire has an embargo and doesn't trade with the Shiryu Alliance. So very unlikely to find someone there who accepts Shiryuan money. But if all else fails, the barter system is still usable. |

Unless I completely forgot, which is possible, I never read that anywhere and was never informed. Don't you think that's something I might need to know? Well, I know now, I guess. So no harm done. |

Since SMEX made it canon with a throwaway comment. But I don't think it will be any trouble to keep that little bit as canon. |

Shiryu's largest source of income is from trade, and up til now, I've operated under the assumption that Cleatia is their biggest partner. If they can't trade with Cleatia anymore, that will actually make me have to change some things. I'll have to show the effects of an embargo, and edit a few future scenes... Only minor edits, but still... All because of a throwaway comment? Damn it Smexy...

Here's some critical thinking: How can one write how powerful a god is when one has never seen a god use their power in reality?

Uh...
Through historical text or primary/secondary sources.
EDIT: For your question, Neo.

So I didn't realize we had a billion elementalists. Talia's no longer that. Also remind me to update that one post once the new description of Serlen's up. Just say "that one post." I'll know what you mean.
