Our economics are pretty simple, our guiding philosophy when it comes to resource distribution is this: Things cannot make you happy, thus everyone should strive to be less greedy in order to achieve happiness; people should only be provided the resources needed to maximize their efficiency as a cog in the machine. You work for as long as is determined you could work efficiently and then you take rest and do other things, this usually includes things other than your work that could better the Horde. Most resources end up going to the Royalty, they distribute the resources where they can 1. extract more resources and more efficiently or 2. towards the military and making us the largest and most powerful "nation" in the universe. Selfishness is considered a crime against the Horde, we all work for the goal of uniting everything in existence; why is unknown. Our economic goal is to be able to access and use every single atom, proton, neutron, electron, etc, in the universe to shape it to our very whims; the empress already knows how to do this and has done it in many universes, we can only learn this technology once we dominate enough of the universe to prevent anyone else from copying it and using it for their own desires.
this is just the description in a nutshell
