	Example: Space Romania is a small nation, with a limited population but significant heavy industry.

It is not allowed to exceed those values, and if it does the player will be required to eliminate units until it falls back under both caps.

			===Sol Invictus Economics===

			''Capacities'' (Rules adapted from Berzerker Ruins 2 concept)


			Capacities in Sol Invictus don’t represent specific amounts of currency or time. Rather, they measure the carrying power of an economy, the ability of the nation or group to maintain a certain amount of ‘nonproductive’ assets - like warships, army battalions, and gangs of intrepid explorers - at the specified level of taxation and government economic control.


			''Industrial Capacity'' (Industry) <br>
			Industry represents mining, factory work, and refined materials dedicated to the creation and upkeep of government assets. Industry is most heavily used in the context of large industrial projects; spaceships, fortresses, exploiting new Resource Nodes and Heavy planetary units typically require more Industry than Administration.

			Each point of Industrial Capacity requires a point of volatiles and metals to fully function, otherwise its output is reduced to 25%.

			Example: 100 Industrial Capacity without access to resources, would effectively only be worth 25.


			''Administrative Capacity'' (Administration)<br>
			Administration represents human time and labor spent in creating and maintaining government assets. Administration is most heavily used in the context of large bodies of people carrying out government-specified projects; research, forming Colonies on livable planets, and Light planetary units typically require more Administration than Industry.


			''Caps and Economic Growth Rates''<br>
			Capacities are defined by a numerical cap and a growth rate, expressed as a percentage. The cap defines the maximum value of that resource that can be expended at any given time; the growth rate defines the percentage by which the cap will increase at the beginning of each consecutive year.

			Example: Space Romania is a small nation, with a limited population but significant heavy industry. It currently has an Industry cap of 500 and an Administration cap of 300; this means that, at the current time, Space Romania can only have units and structures worth up to 500 Industry and 300 Administration in play. It is not allowed to exceed those values, and if it does the player will be required to eliminate units until it falls back under both caps.

			Fortunately, Space Romania has a growth rate of 8% in both Industry and Administration, so at the start of next year, its Industry cap will increase to 540 and its Administration cap will increase to 324.
