Happiness: [47/100] The people are not happy with having a female leader, especially since she is so young. But the promise of a marriage some time in the future keeps them satisfied, along with the duchess's continued support of the arts and her stability in upholding the traditions of the duchy.
Economy [49/100]
Taxes: [43/100] 26 gold pieces are required payment for every citizen. This gold goes towards the support of the arts by funding new architecturally exquisite buildings and sponsoring promising artists, among other things.
Exchequer: [5/0] 22,733 gold pieces line Ashton's exchequer. It is slightly lacking in expense from the funding of their latest cultural achievement - the Violet Theatre.
Imports: [45/100] Ashton imports a steady amount of luxury items, though not as much as the extravagant Pemberton. Gemstones from Benthey and spices from Harleston are among the most popular imports.
Exports: [55/100] Dyes are a main export, creating a steady flow of wealth from such an important export. The dyes from Ashton are known for their brilliance and richness in color and are used in clothing and paints alike.

Researching: Greater perspective in paintings (representing three dimensions on a two-dimensional project)
Researched: N/A (list of researched technology begins now)
Resources [79/100]
Food Supply: [64/100] Enough to keep the citizens well-fed and happy but not enough to supply an army.
Stone: [59/100] Adequate, though the stone is used more in construction of elegant structures than forts and other strongholds.
Lumber: [67/100] Adequate, though slowly depleting as workers clear the land to make room for their expanding cities.
Iron: [46/100] Mines containing iron ore aren't very common within Ashton, therefore most of their iron products such as weapons and other goods are imports.
Luxury: [75/100] The largest luxury resource of Ashton would be dyes - both for clothing and paints. However, they also import spices, gemstones, silk, and perfumes from the other duchies to keep their citizens happy and thriving in culture.
Buildings: [86/100] Though there is far from a surplus of strongholds within Ashton, buildings of a beautiful architectural nature are quite common, especially in the streets of Glennon.
