The Industrial Base

pie_industrial_basein_game/common/advances/culture_piedmontese.txt:255

The combination of water power from our mountain rivers, a growing population of skilled artisans in our cities, and the raw materials of the Alpine foothills has created the conditions for an early industrial transformation that no other region of Italy can yet match. We invest in the hydraulic mills, the standardized workshops, and the credit institutions that allow this productive base to expand systematically rather than grow by accident. This Base Industriale generates income from activities that were once invisible to the treasury and draws workers from the countryside into our towns, building the urban population and the taxable wealth of our state together.
