Description (Specifications)
The calculation of the RU involves access to natural resources, labor, infrastructure, and a complex analysis of cultural factors. It also approximately measures the world's budget.
Avery-Quesnay System
The RU of a world is rated on the Avery-Quesnay economic scale, ranging -13,680 to 13,680.
- The zero point of the scale represents a self sufficient economy, negative values represent a dependent or contracting economy, and positive values show an economy with growth or export capability.
- Please see Resource Unit/summary for more information.
