Day 8: Hierarchy, Power, & Governance

worldbuildingjune

Fittingly after economy is questions about who runs the land, which may very well include how these powers control the flow of goods and services in the economy that they look over.

This day is about asking what sorts of leaders run your world, and how power is distributed. What’s it like being at a lower rung in this system? How are these individuals chosen? Democracy? Lineage? Force?

Also how do these powers maintain power and confidence in those that they guide? Is protection necessary from dangerous forces such as monsters, other nations, or even from the government itself?

Day 7: Economy

Money makes the world go ‘round as some say, and there’s definitely a need to figure out how your world trades goods and services.

This can be a complicated introspection about how your world maintains the value of its currency, or just deciding who’s head is stamped on the coins that folks in your world trade around, or determining in a barter system, which goods are most sought after compared to others.

GET BUILDING!

This is important to document and note though. A common reason posed by producers and execs to justify their whitewashing is “oh well we need white audiences, so we can’t have a black lead/a black love interest/too many black actors on the cast, white audiences won’t watch it.” 

With this data, we know that’s a lie. A documented, quantified, on the record, lie. And it can be refuted and pushed back and called out, with hard numbers.
