Resource Unit (Economics) Synopsis

Resource Unit is a highly abstract measurement of the economic capabilities (production) of a world.

The Resource Unit is a measure by which Imperial economists measure the economic behavior of the sophonts on a planet (world).

Description

The calculation of the RU involves access to natural resources, labor, infrastructure, and a complex analysis of cultural factors.

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.
