The Rise of the Great Dragonican Empire

The Beginning

At first, Great Dragonica (The former Stormhold Empire) did not start out powerful. It began as a Balanced Planet, alone and isolated from the outside universe. After the collapse of the Stormhold Empire, Great Dragonica came out of the ashes. However, the leaders knew they had a problem. Money was low, the population was devastated after The Final War, and all planets under Stromhold control were gone. It seemed that the new government would collapse before it began. However, the leaders knew if that happened, there would be civil unrest, a possible civil war, and at worst, the rise of a new Stormhold, and this, the government could not allow.


Money

The first thing the government had to do was strengthen the near-dead economy. So the government decided to spend months and months on Commercial Research. Thanks to this, as well as building commercial buildings on their planets, the Dragonican Government was able to save the planet from bankruptcy.

Shortages

Although the Dragonican Government was able to solve its money problems, a new crisis developed. The Dragonican Government started to expand through exploration, but the growing population and shrinking food stores resulted in a food crisis. The Government had the money to build more farms, but the ore needed was drained from the home planet and used up. Even worse, its newly gained planets did not have enough ore.
