The King noticed Josefina's small expression, though he didn't quite expect such a responce. Was it something he said? The title he used? He was confused and even more so when he noticed her tear. He he accidentily insulted her? The Emperor didn't react as to support that claim.

He pursued to educate the Ryccian Finance minister with a rather proud tone.

"Let's start from the ground up. Within our Kingdom we have dozens of mining operations, we also make sure that most of these planets if consisting of life, aren't heavily affected by it. Or at least we try. Our mining industries are quite decentralized you see. It has become that on those same planets we have hunting reserves, though I understand that practice has become quite unpopular with your people."

"From there resources are transfered to our industries, mostly ship building and infrastructural projects. Though I imagine ours aren't yet as sofisticated as yours. But perhaps the most interesting subject is our ethnic merchandise. You see most of our planets are focused on certain ethnic groups, dating fron Terra herself. They each have their own culture and thus ethnic musical instruments, clothing and different motives. They are quite affordable, nearly every Stoinian can afford those things. Though they are often made in more primitive manners than yours I assume. Nearly all products are made by a hand's touch."

"Another aspect is our agriculture. We have thousands of fruits and vegetables which you never heard of. Meats as well. Our most renowned farmers are the Boers, which can make nearly any inhospitable land, flourish with crops."

"Might I ask what the Ryccian Empire is renowned for? Except the clothing of course. That much I gathered."
