	In December of IY 811, over ten days, the first Central Continent Three Powers Summit convened in a city of Tragon, bringing together the representatives of Krossen, Tilrestan, and Tragon. Arben Krossen III, fourth king of Krossen, attended in person, leading Krossen's delegation through the most urgent matters left unresolved since the founding years. The summit concluded a mutual non-aggression pact and settled the legal status of the Yalta ruins. The summit's closing day also marked the final day of the old imperial calendar; the following day, the Anno Yalta calendar took effect.

	A second summit convened in AY 10, again led by Arben Krossen III, addressing matters of longer-term governance: the disposition of the old empire's legacy, terms of trade, and common standards of measurement. From the third summit, held in AY 20, Arvolik Krossen — fifth king of Krossen — led Krossen's delegation. That third gathering brought the original three-power framework to its conclusion; in the years that followed, its role was carried forward by ~~the Mirtess Summit~~, which opened participation to nations across the known world.

	Krossen uses both its own national currency and the international currency that runs on the mana computing network. The constitution requires that a single national currency be used across all domains; that currency governs domestic transactions. The international currency serves a different function — it is not issued by any single nation but exists as a common standard of value operating on the mana computing network, used primarily for transactions between states and public institutions. Its unit system derives from the gold, silver, and copper denominations of the old Yalta Empire. The physical coins are long gone, but the units survived — recalled from the wreckage of the old world as a shared reference point that no single nation could claim as its own. The spirit behind that choice is not unlike the one that named the new calendar Anno Yalta: a recognition that even in building something new, the common inheritance of the past belongs to everyone.

Its six domains each specialise in distinct sectors, and the great majority of what is produced within the nation is consumed within it as well. This structure insulates Krossen from disruptions in global trade and has contributed to its long-term stability.

			Krossen is not inward-looking in every respect. Its great ports make it the second-largest maritime trading economy in the world, behind only Tilrestan.

	Krossen's principal economic vulnerability lies in its dependence on imported mana stones and magic stones. Modest deposits exist within its own territory, but more than ninety percent of the mana stones and magic stones it consumes come from abroad, leaving it exposed in fields that rely heavily on mana engineering. The cause is not a lack of talent: Krossen does not make the cultivation of mages a national priority, yet it reliably produces able ones, and is home to Velmora University, counted among the three great magic universities of the world. This dependence has shaped Krossen's foreign policy on more than one occasion.		Krossen's principal economic vulnerability lies in its dependence on imported mana stones and magic stones.
