The Steam Lord Council is not just a governing body of population management.
In the societal structure of the halflings, this organization also encompasses planning and creation.
At the beginning of each fiscal year, they map out production plans for the halfling-owned cities and supervise the next generation of Steam Lords to draft a series of successive short-term goals for their term, ensuring that Steam Lords always lead their communities under rational guidance.
To achieve such goals, the creation organization directly under the Steam Lords is naturally massive in scale.
In fact, Professor Malcolm once calculated that the manufacturing institutions directly managed by the Steam Lords account for over one-third of the halfling population's production capacity, meaning that in this unique societal structure, Steam Lords possess nearly absolute control over materials and production.
