Economic situation of the seven kingdoms

the Prussians with their constant trips to the summer islands and essos to trade have brought their ships full of gold and silver, this has begun to generate a medium inflation, since there is more gold and silver circulating which has begun to depreciate the coins of those metals, making the most affected are the serfs who have been forced to move to the urban centers in search of more remunerated jobs.

Because the price of food in general has also dropped due to the growth of food production in the reach, the price of grain in the central zone of the seven kingdoms has been reduced by almost 20% making the smaller plantations inefficient and unable to feed their families, since as their grain sells for less, it is increasingly difficult to live.

Lower class, other territories: they have been the most affected by the economic changes that have occurred, the tools and animals are more expensive, but the price of their crops have been reduced, which has caused many to leave and abandon small towns searching for jobs in the cities.

Middle class, other territories: merchants have taken advantage of low grain prices and have begun selling grain to essos where there are supply problems due to raids by horse lords, contributing to inflation in the seven kingdoms, but they are not affected to any great extent.

Upper class, other territories: they have had many problems because entire villages have been abandoned due to the loss of their serfs, this has affected the economy of many feudal lords, who have been forced to put their knights to protect their serfs from escaping to other territories, their complaints are not heard by the king's hand, for the moment the escape of serfs is still small, but it has started to increase.

Prussian lower class: the Prussians at first did construction work or were soldiers, with the arrival of immigrants they began to take the most prestigious work for Prussians who could access to be soldiers, currently there are no Prussians doing simple jobs only soldiers, guards or bodyguards of merchants or craftsmen, compared to the other lower classes are between 6-10 times richer by tax benefits and subsidies they receive for having children.

Prussian middle class: composed of artisans, merchants, scientists, doctors, priests, they have become the largest sector of the Prussian population, many returned to do jobs they did before being recruited, which allowed them with the economic help of their king to become one of the wealthiest social strata of the seven kingdoms, the average wealth of this group is comparable to small lords or knights landowners.

Prussian upper class: composed of successful nobles and merchants, all Prussian nobles receive a monthly payment from the king in addition to their jobs as military officers or as administrators, they enjoy a lifestyle far superior to other lords because they have access to better health and access to many luxury goods from other parts of the world, a majority group of Prussian nobles consider that the only acceptable luxury is alcohol and refuse to use their gold for anything else, they mainly spend it on hiring and training more guards for their mansions, a common gift among the Prussian nobility is to give soldiers to their sons to practice being commanders, the successful merchants have commercial fleets at their disposal where they trade with other territories of the seven kingdoms or in some cases to the summer islands.

Local lower class: they are engaged in jobs that the Prussians do not consider worthy of them, farmers, cleaners, kitchen helpers, warehouse workers or other types of unskilled jobs, they are richer than their counterparts in other territories, as they are not affected by the drop in food because they have fixed wages.

Local middle class: merchants and craftsmen who go about their work, although they are not as wealthy as Prussian merchants or craftsmen because they do not have access to tax breaks or tax benefits

local upper class: nobles who survived the arrival of the Prussians, they have been very affected by the loss of serfs, in some cases they have lost almost 40% of their population, but they cannot do much because they have no one to complain to because the king in Prussia is not interested in stopping more serfs from coming to his territories.

Political situation of the seven kingdoms

there is a very tenuous peace, which in the future is seen to be broken by the iron born or a great conflict between the lords of the seven kingdoms and the king in Prussia because their territories are the destiny of many serfs who decide to escape

religious view, faith of the seven: the faith of the seven has dedicated itself to spreading a message that the Prussians are heathens and monsters who destroyed and burned places of worship during their occupation and who dedicated themselves during their rule to raping septas and sisters of silence and torturing septons while expanding their religion in the reach, they have a hostile relationship with the king in Prussia and fill any ear they can get their hands on with hatred, but their influence has been somewhat diminished, since losing the donation money from one of the most populated territories of the seven kingdoms has caused them many economic problems that prevent them from helping the people because it was the first thing they cut off to maintain the luxuries of the faith.

The lower classes hearing this speech and at the same time being the most affected by the economic change are the ones who have generated most hatred for the Prussians and blame them for many of their misfortunes

View of the nobility of the seven kingdoms: there is a conflict among the nobles, since many have become rich trading with the Prussians by selling them raw materials, but there are some who have lost many serfs due to the fall of food prices and the rise of some prices.

Most of the paramount lords are happy with the Prussians or are neutral because they bring many benefits and some problems, this case would be Tywin Lannister who has the biggest conflict because he hates Friedrich Wilhelm for ruining his revenge against the martells, but in the same way he finally got what he most wanted a Valyrian steel sword for his house, since the news that the Hohenzollern's are the richest house he has been furious again because since his arrival to Westeros the renown of his family had suffered a lot because of the Prussian's activities.

The iron born feel an extreme hatred for the Prussians, since they have destroyed many fleets that are sent searching for logs and slaves for their rebellion.

Internal situation of the Prussian government

The king has absolute control over his subjects being the only one with the capacity to own land among the Prussians, the king has given monthly stipends to all his nobles for the loss of their property rights, the cantons have been established as an administrative figure and the head of this unit is the military governor.

The governors are handpicked by the king, where the king gives him his obligations and duties that he expects from a canton, if the governor does not fulfill them by his negligence alone he is expelled from his post without the possibility of being elected again in the near future, after his 6-month term (moons) he is reassigned to other cantons so that he cannot establish himself and divert funds with the knowledge acquired about his canton.

The governors can choose some of their close ones as trusted administrators, but for the most part, the administration is by a group that lives in the canton and does not have much relationship with the military governor.

The payment of the military governor is based on his productivity in his canton, if he achieves the king's expectations and improves the production or the internal situation he receives a bonus, seeking through economic incentives that the governors do the best possible job.

Currently, the most desirable cantons for governors are the canton of goldengrove (Hannover), Neu Danzig and tumbleton.

The Prussian nobility are dissatisfied with the fact that they cannot own land, but are quite content with their king's promise to maintain monthly stipends (moons) and secure positions in the army.

Education: the education of the new generation has become the state policy that is currently spending the most money because of the amount of resources needed to maintain schools and feed the children, currently the classes are given by the nobles and some priests where they are taught to read and write, mathematics, a little religion and a lot of physical preparation, in case at some point they want to enter the Prussian army.

Religion: the priests have carried out many administrative duties for the king and at the same time they are the nucleus of the society in the protestant communities where they meet to pray or to make celebrations, the king is preparing to separate the administrative duties of the religion and to leave only the spiritual duties to them.

The Protestant population considers that they have never been better off and feel appreciation for their king because of his concern for them

The non-Protestant population, or the escaped serfs, are the biggest problem currently facing the Prussian government, as they are facing an extremely discriminatory government against those who do not believe in the same faith, disqualifying them from jobs in the farmlands, not being able to work as guards or soldiers leaving them only limited types of jobs because many of the major labor providers are Prussians and prefer to hire brothers of faith, including the propaganda of the faith of the seven there is much resentment from non-Protestants against the Prussians who see how the Prussians have an enviable lifestyle at the expense of keeping them oppressed.
