Emperor Brimstone introduced a policy of economic consolidation to rebuild the empire after the fall of the Ochebanian Republic.

Objective

The primary goal of this policy was to rebuild and strengthen Ochebana's weak economy after the disastrous republican period, in the ultimate end of achieving internationalist ambitions. The empire had been isolationist and its economy was accordingly too weak to appropriately compete on the international market, let alone allow Ochebana to mount a naval invasion force; the economic consolidation had to remedy this.

Measures

Brimstone believed a strong state-controlled currency was essential for trade, and thus heavily promoted the use of Imperial coinage, introduced almost two centuries earlier but hardly used, and tried to replace foreign currencies on Balebu with it. He minted great amounts of coins and destroyed foreign currency, allowed easy exchange of foreign coins for Imperial ones, and forbade the payment of taxes in any money other than Imperial coinage.
