An overview of a city or village economy can be gained using the CITY ECONOMY and CHANCELLORY STATUS commands. This command shows various information about the financial state of the city, including how much money is in the generally accessible treasury (not the Chancellory), and how much the city will pay out via a merchant, as well as who the merchant buys from. The simplest way to add money to the treasury directly is to use the CITY INVEST command - which takes money from the floor of the council chamber and adds it to the treasury. Type CITY WITHDRAW followed by an amount to take money out of the treasury and place it onto the floor of the council. Both investments and withdrawals are logged in the town's actions records, so money cannot be easily embezzled using this method.
