Economy

The Rireinu economy is basically laissez-faire capitalist. The state provides a level playing field by upholding the rule of law and treating all actors equally. There are minimal safeguards in place to keep businesses from accidentally killing or maiming their customers, or misrepresenting their products and services.

As Rireinu is the only nation in the system, there are practically no exports or imports. Interstellar trade is still rather low in volume.

The Rireinu currency is called peri, a word that also means 'labrys'. Its symbol, Ŧ, is a stylized letter "pe" which resembles a labrys, or double-bitted axe. 1 peri = 100 hakurini.
Coins: 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 hakurini (aluminium) and Ŧ1 (brass).
Notes: Ŧ5, Ŧ10, Ŧ25, Ŧ50 and Ŧ100 (printed on polypropylene polymer).

The fiscal year runs from 2u.1pa. to 1u.31pa.

Transportation

The major mode of transportation in Rireinu is walking. Bicycles are popular for both commuting and goods transport. There are also pedal-powered taxis. The popularity of muscle-powered transportation is most likely due to the emphasis the dominant Pure Land philosophy places on physical fitness. Privately-owned automobiles are not very common.

Overland long distance transportation is mostly provided by railways. There are numerous competing railway companies that carry both passengers and freight. All major cities are connected by high speed lines. Highways are maintained by national and provincial governments and thanks to the powerful railway lobby, they are perennially underfunded, so their condition ranges from serviceable to abominable. Intercontinental transportation relies mainly on shipping. Airline services are quite expensive.

Interplanetary transportation is provided by orbital shuttles and dedicated orbit-to-orbit spaceliners, with transshipment in orbit. Koi Station, in geostationary orbit above Haru, is not only the transshipment station for Rireinu the homeworld, but also the port of entry to Rireinu the nation.

Telecommunications

Telephones are ubiquitous. Practically every person has a portable phone.

Every major town has at least one radio station and one television station. There are three major networks.

The systemwide computer network, Mutivaka, is in common use. Every corporation and virtually every home is connected to the network.
