About salary and currency
May 22, 2025 at 1:41 PM
The Tahoin is the main currency of the Empire of Fire, but there is also a larger currency called the Unity Coin. One Unity Coin is worth one hundred Tahoin, but it is so rare that it has not been produced in the country since 1000 and is used in diplomacy and trade between other countries. The Fiery Empire also has a ruble (one tahoin is worth 100 rubles), a dollar (one tahoin is worth 1,000 dollars, which is not very profitable, and the dollar is a very rare currency in the country), a Chinese yuan (1 tahoin is worth 50 yuan), and a Japanese yen (1 tahoin is worth 500 yen, which is also not very profitable, but the yen is more common, especially in Shildronopolis and Gura-Ichi, two very large metropolises with a Japanese population). There are even orc markets in Tahopolis.The tahoin is a very strong currency, and its price has not changed since 1000, because its stability is strictly monitored. An economist who allows the national currency to fall by even 0.00001 percent will be shot on the spot as a traitor, a betrayer of the motherland, and an enemy of the people. Banks and safes in bank vaults are also guarded around the clock. If even one coin is missing from the vault, the guard will be shot or hanged, and if the guard is framed, both will be executed. First, the first one will be executed for carelessness, negligence, and inattention, and then the second one will be found and executed for treason.
And the salary: in the Fire Empire, those who work get a lot of money, while those who sit on their ass and shuffle papers get little. But first, let's talk about social classes: in the empire, there are no clear divisions between different social groups, and the lines are so blurred that a farmer can become an officer, and vice versa. However, this is the only way to determine the salary. Bureaucrats, economists, lawyers, managers, salespeople, and cashiers earn 20,000 tahoin and 10,000 in advance. Teachers, professors, doctors, scientists, chefs, couriers, postmen, dispatchers, correspondents, news anchors, taxi drivers, bus, trolley, tram, and minibus drivers 5-10 kilometers away from the city, subway drivers, weather forecasters (liars), and meteorologists earn 25,000-35,000 tahoin and 20,000 in advance.Drivers of buses and minibuses on an intercity route with a distance of 10-200 kilometers, as well as drivers of passenger trains of fast trains, pilots of passenger planes whose flights have a distance of 50-200 kilometers (for pilots from 200 to 400 kilometers), drivers of freight and special trains, drivers of shunting trains, captains and sailors of barges and passenger steamships and cruise liners, as well as farmers of all professions (from tractor drivers to agronomists) in the period before harvesting and when agricultural machinery is out of work, as well as machinery and various professions related to the repair of agricultural machinery. Electricians, plumbers, and locksmiths earn 70,000 to 80,000 rubles and 50,000 in advance.Factory workers of all types of industry, miners, lumberjacks, workers of hydroelectric power plants, nuclear power plants, bus drivers for a distance of 500 kilometers and above, pilots of airplanes for flights of 500 kilometers and above, truckers who transported all types of goods, ferrymen, drivers of passenger trains, express trains for a distance of 500 kilometers and above, drivers of freight trains for a distance of 500 kilometers and above, captains and sailors of tanker cargo ships, captains and sailors of cargo ships working in the Far North, engineers and farmers of all professions from tractor drivers to agronomists earn 200,000 and 100,000 in advance during harvest.

Well, it's simple in the army: the higher the rank, the higher the salary, and the higher the likelihood of getting killed. Junior officer ranks: from private to senior sergeant in the fiery empire. They earn between 60,000 and 80,000, receive a 50,000 advance, and enjoy various benefits, including free transportation, a three-room apartment in the capital's center, and compensation in the event of injury or death. In the event of injury or death, the family of the injured or deceased receives 1 million tahoin and receives all possible assistance.Junior officers: from junior lieutenant to captain, salary is 80-90 thousand, advance is 70 thousand, benefits and compensations are the same. Senior officers: from major to colonel, earn 100 000 and 80 000 in advance, but the risk is very high officers of all ranks from major to generalissimo are required to personally lead soldiers into battle and demonstrate honor and patriotism by their own example. Top officers: from general to generalissimo. 1 million and an advance of 800 thousand again, the risk is very high.The police, firefighters, and other special services work in the same way as the military.
