Hm.  Well...first off, what is "overproduction" a quote from?  You can't quote yourself any more, you know...:)

Second, in the Overseas Gnomes rule...You say people can purchase Gnomes from the Gnome Account.  Is it that you mean people can purchase Gnomes, and the money used for the purchase goes into the Gnome Account?  Or do you forsee the Gnome Account containing Gnomes?

This is basically a Gnome Co-Op company, with profits being distributed to members of the cooperative?
