" In regular times, when food supplies are stable the market-economy does its job. In times of need the factions fund the distribution of food. For Europa this usually means a faction pays for a few thousand standard units of shipped in food. Loads them on trucks and hands them out in the city.
The entire operation for the outlying towns and villages often is more complex. Every faction primarily takes care of their alligned areas, if factions aren't able to supply their people for what ever reason they will switch to another faction to take care of them.
Nobody starves, but food crisis usually lead to political changes. Wich can be quite dramatic in some cases."
Since the limosine was off the main route again the traffic density had decreased slightly.
" I'm a bloodline Benitez actually, unlike for instance mi hermano Trueno. Mi Madre, Neive is the sister of Custo Benitez, who has served on the Benitez council as an Elder. Mi Grandpadre served as an officer for la famillias operations in Bretonia. His Mother is the youngest sister of Don Santigo. His father is Eduardo Lopez, who are another influencial family on Crete. Don Santigo is the late father of Don Carlos.
I was destined to serve mi familia in what ever way they demanded from me. Started marine training at age 16. Served as a marine for several years whilst getting advanced flight training. Went from Soldato straight to Elder after my godfather, the Don, asked me to join the council. Jose retired from his position as Commandante a few months ago and here we are... in limosine driving to an artifact quarry. So amigo, how did you become an honest businessman? How did BTE start? Do tell me, we still have a couple of clicks to go. "
