Basicly, all towns should be granted economic autonomy to decide upon their own industries, however there are stipulations to this freedom. All towns must be able to provide for theirselves, and must be producing a certain excess to add to the Kingdom. For example, say the town on Scimitar Peninsula is a producer of naval warfare technology and armament. They'd be expected to be able to arm all their citizens and fill their harbors with ships, but also be able to send some armors and weapons to the capital and be able to help fortify the naval front of Dustari with warships, not a lot but enough to make a noticible contribution. After these conditions are fufilled, the towns are free to do as they please with their remaining tangible assets. They can import and export as their budgets will allow, and towns that do well econoicly, socially, and in other ways will be rewarded by the Kingdom. The only real restrictions on exportation and importation are that A) Goods may not exported to hostile Kingdoms, save in the case of a trade agreement; B) Goods may not be imported from hostile countries, except upon the above arangement; and C) In the case of a trade embargo, support will be given by the Kingdom to any town suffering from it.

My way is a little differnt... I believe that for a strong economy to happen we should have ALL Imports and Exports controlled by the Government. This garentees proper success of busienesses. And few things will be made in sold... I believe that Dustari should monoplise on Food Production and Weaponry. Foods are needed for basic life and weapons are needed for enforcement.
We sell excess food and weapons to neighboring nations at a decent price therefore enhacing our general income. Sure we'll have small time jobs in some of the citys/towns such as Shoe Maker, Hunter, etc. We could make the Zormite Armor, the Samurai Armor, The Pirate's Swords... everything and start to gain an income.
And Kamuii, Putting Military before Economics turns you into an Iraqi state, Militant ran and open for rebellion. We'll have a small standing army and standard training durning this too... but we wont mass produce military men.
