=== Economics ===
Within the context of the establishment of Cult nihilism, the prexisting economically decentralised [[W:Putting-out system|domestic system]] had proven an ineffective measure to benefit from the extensive extractable mineral and energy resources in Kæra'zna. As such, the establishment of an efficient, profit-orientated [[w:Planned economy|planned economy]] was deemed an imperative. As such, the model of [[w:State capitalism|state capitalism]] was propagated amongst Ritual nihilists, presented to the populace as a sacrificing of individual choice in order to provide for the greater collective. While some have suggested the system as socialist in purpose - in a way analogous to [[w: Fascism|fascist]] nationalistic socialism, the economic structure instituted in Kæra'zna presents a number of capitalistic mechanisms in order to maximize economic output, including competition amongst workers and a strict economic hierarchy.
With the Cult nihilist rejection of objective views towards morality, adoption of measures deemed unethical in a majority of the world have been advocated and enforced by Ritual nihilists in accordance with the theory of self-sacrifice in order to further the nation as a whole. Such policies have been scaled back for skilled workers in the 21st century, however, due in part to pressure from the international community and an acknowledgement that a majority do not provide substantive economic benefit to counter the rate of workplace death and injury. Despite its opposition to the mechanisms of [[w:Free_market#Capitalism|free-market capitalism]], Ritual nihilists often opposed the notion of [[w:Autarky|autarky]], regarding the attempt to establish true self-sufficiency a “fool’s errand” due to the lack of arable land in Kæra'zna. Instead, the state alone held the prerogative to engage in international trade, often through the allocation of resources to state-owned corporations - which would be later absorbed into [[K-RAD]].
Due to its rejection of Marxist ideas on class conflict, the economic theory of Ritual nihilism was considerably influenced by the economist Kel'næ, who argued that a hierarchy based upon biological and practical merit produced a system in which jobs could be allocated to those best suited to them, creating a stable production cycle reliant upon specialised workers trained to perform their specific job. As such, state intervention into the economy as an allocator of sapient and material resources is fundamental to the Ritual nihilist economy. This explicit hierarchy additionally plays a fundamental role in the societal structure that facilitates the state, with high-level bureaucratic work allowing those deemed of greater mental capacity to enjoy a greater degree of freedom, in exchange for heightened expectations of loyalty and adherence to national identity. In comparison, those given low-priority, simplistic manual labour positions are often taught only their work and the fundamental building blocks of survival, with a considerable number unable to read or write due to such being deemed unnecessary for them.
