Shwuastic Economics

Shwuastic Economics was a policy first instituted by Ypari Lender Nathaniel Shwua in E.4 261. The main idea behind the policy was that Yparisland would focus more on internal trade, rather than solely relying on its trading partners of Jelesia and Euricia to supply it with manufactured goods.

Although originally an idea that appealed to many Ypari businessmen and consumers, the high prices that resulted from the near-embargo on all foreign goods plunged the Ypari economy into chaos. Shwua was voted out of office (in concordance with the Popularity Recall Law) for destroying the island's economy, and a swift election placed the Island Party candidate, Lerner White, into office.
