Mirabel Republic

Nethington is a fictional nation created by Tony Bark, a unique world with various regions, each possessing distinct and diverse cultures that are often inspired by real-life American and Japanese ones. The economy of Nethington is based on Lizzie Magie's Landlord's Game, the precursor to Monopoly, which explores and critiques capitalism's monopolist tendencies rather than romanticizing these traits as seen in the modern version of the game.

Economy

In Nethington, every citizen receives a starting capital upon reaching maturity. This money can be spent or invested in properties, transportation infrastructure, disputes, or loans. Public housing serves as a safety net for those who cannot afford to pay off their debts. The economy of Nethington emphasizes investment in community and shared resources over personal wealth accumulation. Citizens are encouraged to invest in parks, schools, and other communal assets.

Despite the open nature of this system, individuals continue to respect boundaries, and trespassing penalties remain enforced. Disputes within Nethington's society are resolved through the judicial system, with courts handling all conflict resolution matters.
