The country of Amme produces cannons. Their cannons are created from steel found deep within their land. Central planners of Amme decided it was best to take advantage of their natural resources and defend their country.

# data[].attributes.body
Central planners of Amme delegate how citizens participate in which part of production. Certain citizens, regardless of knowledge, strength, and other determining factors, mine for steel.

Central planners also decide who gets their product. Amme central planners decide all cannons produced must go toward defending Amme.

The strengths of Amme's command economy are equity and security. Equity is the value of fairness. A command economy treats everyone equally by giving them the same government issued items. Security in guaranteed in a command economy. Every person has a job and will receive basic needs, regardless of any determining factors.

# data[].attributes.body
The weaknesses of Amme's command economy are growth, efficiency, and freedom.  A command economy cannot grow because all basic needs are covered by the government. There is no desire from citizens to increase the standard of living. Efficiency is max output from available resources. Competition inspires innovation, which produces more efficient techniques and products. Thus, a command economy is not efficient.  Amme also does not value economic freedom. Each person will produce and buy what they are told by central planners.

In a mixed economy such as Retchiral has government agencies and private companies produce goods. Goods are categorized as private, club, common, and public. A government agency in Retchiral provides education (public good). While a private company produces pencils (private).

# data[].attributes.body
The pencil company innovates and create the best pencil for the lowest price in order beat their competition and maximize profit. In Retchiral the government education agency decides the curriculum for their students. Education may also be provided by private institutions. The two education systems are not in a competition as two pencil companies may be. This is because education from the government is a safety net for those who do not wish to pay for education; it is not actively competing for more consumers because it's objective is not profit.

# data[].attributes.body
The pencil company decides who to distribute their product to. They will provide pencils to those who pay the price. Pencils are a private good, therefore one person must pay for their own use of the pencil. The education provided by government is a public good, everyone can use it for no price; although technically taxes provide public education, but for the purpose of the example taxes are disregarded.

Strengths of a mixed economy vary because every economy has a different variation of command vs. market. The degree of growth is fairly high because most people wan to increase their own standard of living. Most private companies within a mixed economy are efficient. Safety nets put in place by the government for disabled and disadvantaged people create a certain level of equity. Economic freedom is also given in mixed economies. Even people who work within the government choose to do so. People can decide where to earn and spend their money. Security is also provided through government safety nets such as welfare and food stamps.

# data[].attributes.body
Weaknesses also depend on the degree of the mixed economy. Growth in services only provided by the government is minimal. Although efficiency is encouraged it is stopped by safety nets. Equity may not be seen by people who feel entitled to more help from the government. Taxes must be paid to the government to provide safety nets. Taxes also diminish economic freedom. Security may also be seen as a flaw by those who do not like the free rider problem. They may believe benefiting from an unpaid service is fundamentally wrong.

The country of Kcul does not decide what it's people produce. Each person decides individually what would be best to produce. One individual, Amy decides to produce blue shirts simply because she wants to.

# data[].attributes.body
In Kcul individuals must choose the most efficient and innovative product. Amy makes her blue shirts with special shirt making technology. The technology makes Amy's blue shirts the brightest and softest shirts on the market.

# data[].attributes.body
Products made in Kcul can be sold to whomever their producer decides. Amy decides to sell her blue shirt to the highest bidder. This way Amy has maximized her profit. A buyer in Kcul will buy what they are able to.

The strengths of Kcul's free-market economy are  growth, efficiency, and freedom. Individuals act in their best interest, such as increasing their own standard or living. Therefore free-markets value growth. Free markets are also efficient because of the competition provided by acting in one's self interest. Freedom is strongly valued by free-market economies. Each person decides what they will produce and what they will buy.

# data[].attributes.body
The weaknesses of a free-market economy are a lack of equity and security. Equity is the value of fairness. A free-market is not fair because in competition there will always be winners and losers. Free-markets also do not value security. If a person in a free market economy has a predisposition such as a disability, there is no safety net protecting them. Every person works for themselves, thus there is no security.

Kcul because I value growth, freedom, and I do not value equity. I would like to preface my explanation by stating, my choice was made based on the fact I do not suffer from disabilities that would inhibit my ability to succeed in a market economy. I would enjoy working for my own best interest. My independent strive for growth would always motivate me to work harder. I also value choice. I love the freedom to find my own career and buy things that make me happy. I would not be happy in a command economy where decisions were made for me. I like to question authority until I find the answer I desire. Lastly, I do not value equity because it is relative. Due to this I believe equity is the least important goal of the economy. Living in Kcul would be a challenge I feel I could take on. Wish me luck in Kcul!
