The landlord had told them he wanted to raise the rent to $3,500 and when they complained he decided to raise it to $9,500.

I actually have looked into that. From what I can tell they never really had a well-defined economic structure, since building up the economy bigger isn't a consideration when fighting for your existence, and used a market system for basic purchases of supplies. Modern Rojava is the same way.

The Republicans were pretty close to winning from what I've heard, and if I could see parallel universes what they would have settled on after a victory would be one of the first few things I'd be interested in.
