Economy in VESS

The economy in the universe of Void of Earth's Solar System includes the use of the old, ancient monetary system of Global Credits, which was first introduced in the Second Era (see history in VESS) under Earth's first, pre-United Earth Regime, pre-Earth Political Union world government. The Global Credit is the official currency of the United Earth Regime, the League of Planets, about 90 percent of the member states of the Outworld Alliance, and the Free Trader's Guild 99see [[politically neutral guilds. About 10 percent of the local governments in the Outworld Alliance use systems of barter or precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum.  The Empire of Spectra uses both barter and it's own money called the Spectra Credit.  Global  Credits and Spectra Credits largely exist as electronic data stored in computers and robots, and such Credits can be downloaded into computer disks, and loaded into other machines.

The economic laws in the United Earth Regime, some member states of the Outworld Alliance, and the Empire of Spectra that require privately owned business can only operate under the jurisdiction of one government, except for the independent interplanetary traders of the Free Trader's Guild, who are mainly exempt from such business-operate-only-under-one-government laws.
