Editing Manus (section)

== Economy ==
In war-time, Manus prospers thanks to the loot that its soldiers bring from their conquests, while peace-times see the economy of the city at a disadvantage.<ref name="6.33E" /> Still, Manus produces weapons and armor on its own and doesn't have to completely rely on imports.

Manus is considered the second-poorest Walled City after [[Oteslia]]: Of all Walled Cities, it is located closest to the Antinium lands and the trade routes are not without danger. For that reason Manus is not as dependent on constant trade and has stockpiles of food rations for War emergencies. Stockpiles regardless: Manus has the desperate need for trade, and imports [[Pallass]]ian steel, Oteslian produce and the best magics of [[Fissival]]. <ref name="6.33E" />

However, it is considered the most economically sound for seeking employment, with its numerous opportunities centered around the military. Maus' soldiers are also some of the most well-compensated in the world. The pension it provides works off of a points system, related to both the time spent in service and the dangers faced as a soldier. It's possible to reach pensioner status within a decade, with the option to hold off retirement to earn more points and increase the "Rank" of pension. The families of soldiers killed in action are well provided for. Those listed as Marked Commissions get additional perks. Manus spends a lot of income on such social services to incentivise talent to come and stay.<ref name=":0">{{VERef|Patreon Poll - Mini-Chapter}}</ref>
