'''Economic Policies''' are weekly Alliance-wide decisions that determine how an Alliance distributes its [[Alliance Gold Coffer]] funds into [[Weekly Buffs]].
Each policy reflects a strategic focus for the week and is selected through the [[Township Voting]] system.

== Overview ==
* Each Alliance may vote for one Economic Policy per week.
* The chosen policy determines which Weekly Buff receives the largest share of the Gold Coffer.
* The policy remains active until the next [[Weekly Reset]].
* Policies are decided by majority vote—or overridden by the Alliance [[Governors|Governor]] if Executive Authority is used.

== Policy Ratios ==
The Gold Coffer’s balance is divided across the three [[Weekly Buffs]] according to the chosen policy.
Each week, the distribution follows the current **40% / 30% / 30%** structure.

{| class="wikitable"
! Policy !! Crafting Area Buff !! Merchant Stock Bonus !! Dungeon Buff !! Priority Buff Focus
|-
| '''Crafter’s Policy''' || '''40%''' || 30% || 30% || Crafting & Production
|-
| '''Merchant Policy''' || 30% || '''40%''' || 30% || Trade & Economy
|-
| '''Hunter’s Policy''' || 30% || 30% || '''40%''' || Exploration & PvE
|}

* The **priority buff** (the one receiving 40%) grows twice as fast as the other two buffs.
* This ratio ensures all buffs improve each week, but one always takes the lead.

== How Policies Are Chosen ==
Economic Policies are decided through the weekly [[Township Voting]] process:

# Citizens cast votes between Monday and Saturday.
# Governors receive the same options, with an additional ability to either:
* Follow the citizen vote, or
* Override it using Executive Authority.
# Final results are tallied during the [[Weekly Reset]].

If no majority is achieved, the Alliance retains its previous week’s policy.

== Policy Effects ==
Each Economic Policy aligns with specific gameplay bonuses and goals:

=== Crafter’s Policy ===
Focuses on crafting, production, and trade skill progression.
* + Crafting Zone skill gain rate increases significantly.
* + Slight bonus to vendor stock and dungeon buffs.
* Ideal for alliances investing in economic and resource infrastructure.

=== Merchant Policy ===
Emphasizes trade, NPC economy, and material flow.
* + Vendor stock refreshes faster, with expanded inventory.
* + Moderate crafting zone and dungeon improvements.
* Best for Alliances that thrive on merchant trade and player markets.

=== Hunter’s Policy ===
Centers on exploration, combat, and PvE activity.
* + Dungeon buffs for Gold, Rare Loot, and XP drop rates.
* + Minor boosts to crafting and merchant benefits.
* Favored by PvE- and adventure-focused Alliances.

== Strategy ==
* Plan your weekly policy around your Alliance’s activity trend:
*** If crafting and production are active → choose Crafter’s Policy.
*** If trading and town activity dominate → choose Merchant Policy.
*** If dungeon farming is peaking → choose Hunter’s Policy.
* Coordinate with Governors to ensure policy alignment with player goals.
* Monitor your [[Alliance Gold Coffer]] levels mid-week to predict next week’s buff strength.

== Developer Notes ==
* Policy ratios (40/30/30) are subject to adjustment during Beta 2.
* Future updates may include rotating “Seasonal Policies” with special effects.
* Long-term plans include visual indicators for active Alliance Policies within the in-game menu.
