So the legal routes are:

  1. Be a regular migrant and then while you are in the UK become an asylum seeker and seek to change your visa
  2. Stow away or use a forged passport (how is this remotely a legal route?)
  3. Be lucky and hope a resettlement scheme exist, which there are two that I can find, one for Hong Kong and another for Ukraine

The issue is whenever you come here from a safe country. That is not fleeing war.

Apart from that there is no legal obligation on refugees to stop in the first safe country, this also would mean we should not have accepted any Ukrainian refugees, they must have travelled through Poland and other safe countries to get here so by your definition they are now a problem as they are no longer fleeing war.

    Only saw this now, so apologies for a delayed reply; I don’t understand what you mean, they only mentioned a new digital currency; I made a point that you don’t need a separate digital currency, what other reasons are you referring to?

    Or you could have a publicly owned payment scheme that uses regular money, see debit cards in France (and Germany?)

    Or the mobile payment options in Sweden and Norway (and also Denmark maybe?)

    You don’t need crypto to fulfill the same function as Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, etc.

    I know I’m late to the party but I have recently been obsessed with this same topic. GURPS Fantasy does cover this topic as well and, similar to WFRP, splits settlements into isolates, villages, market villages, towns, and cities.

    In general tough I look at it from the angle of “where does the food come from?” Which, depending on if the mode of transport consumes the food too (e.g. grain and draft animals), may only be a few days travel from the city; unless there are rivers etc. that can help move goods further easier.

    Should plan it so that they were recently trained and briefed on their mission on that new planet, so instead of being just after they’ve argued with their parents they have just finished their training
