I was off work today so I decided to try to make Sweden the furniture-making capital of the world.

But I never really got there.

Instead, I ended up in an iron-deficiency doom loop where iron was increasingly expensive so all I could do was build and upgrade iron mine after iron mine.

Eventually, I unlocked a new mining technology to make them more efficient; but then the mines stopped because they ran out of coal.

So I was stuck building coal mine after iron mine after coal mine after iron mine.

Eventually, the entire economy (and the entire royal treasury) was spent trying to dig iron out of the earth.

It's a hell of a generative-story, but I'm not sure it was necessarily fun in the classical sense.

(Looking back now, I'm not even sure where the iron was going or the best way to find out. I have a lot to learn about running a country.
