—👍 —was all the even more embarrassed southerner could muster. —..Well, that's what I thought. Should have asked. No, it's fine, thanks for the info.
Looking around, he decides to head to the first lecture.

The lecturer at today's lecture turned out to be the student's recent acquaintance — Professor Peleng. He began the class with things of little relevance to the plot, but at some point he finally got to something interesting, demonstrating a curious pie chart to the students. 

- This is the kingdom's economy, divided into sectors. When you buy something in a store or, on the contrary, provide someone a service in exchange for money, you take part in the monetary circulation of the private sector. The royal sector is the treasury and enterprises working directly for the royal family. Most of it is based on the extraction and processing of minerals, as well as heavy industry; for example, shipbuilding. The government is the city administrations, the armed forces of our country, the guard, educational institutions — for instance, the university within whose walls we currently find ourselves, and much more. These sectors, of course, intertwine with one another; for example, the government is funded by the royal sector, and the apartments and houses allocated to you are also built thanks to it. The black market is the illegal circulation of goods and services; the figure shown is approximate, since establishing exact statistics is not possible. It should be noted separately that since the year 977, taxes have been eliminated in Asuguh — a decision unprecedented and promising to lead to economic collapse, but contrary to experts' expectations, this did not happen. On the contrary — excellent conditions for doing business, a lenient migration policy, and the elimination of most of the bureaucracy led to unprecedented economic growth. Even the royal sector, despite significantly increased expenditures, did not shrink but rather grew, largely thanks to an increase in the workforce. - The professor swept his gaze across the students. - So, does anyone have any questions?
