Yes, interactions like that are the only kind I'm aware of, so I'm wondering what kind of *fic* this person wants. "Having inflated its currency by his use of Polish coin dies" is not your average Yuletide fic!

Admittedly it's the *exact* kind of fic I was writing for that novel in high school, which had very few character interactions and lots and lots of military history, politics, and economics. :P
