	Developments are big ticket economic items typically run as either state enterprises or public-private partnerships. Players invest any amount of income into a specific sector and optionally, production type. 10% of that amount is then set aside as 'potential earnings' and rolled as an 1dX, with X being the potential earnings number. For example, a state desiring to increase their total production of small arms may sink $5000 into Industry (Small Arms). The rolled die is therefore 1d500, with the result being the additions to the economy, gained in the next fiscal year (so for any Developments rolled in Year 1 only pay dividends in Year 2).
