Country, under the di Medici, are a financial great power in Italy, wool flowing from the city and gold flowing in, not least of all through the Medici bank. The bank, along with ownership of much of the local industry, means that a Medici ruler exerts immense control over the Flavor Rank's economy. Eventually, extensive ownership has led to a point where the distinction between state funds and the personal wealth of the Ruler Title is largely negligible. For example, the Ruler Title has exclusive rights to the state's extraction of salt and minerals, but those funds are expected to directly benefit the state and the city. However, with so much personal control, what is state money and what is family money largely comes down to each Ruler Title.
