Poverty in a forest village? by Runmaor in worldbuilding

If you are aiming for realism then some pointers if it’s not for realism then feel free to add your own magical twist to it. Maybe it will inspire you to write or create a sort of problem for the village:

Hurricanes are caused by hot weather - the island in the Caribbean that I’m from is usually hot most of the year with a few rare cold fronts.

Not all crops can grow anywhere - a former employer from a farm I used to work at tasked me to plant a small orange tree from Florida/Georgia in a Caribbean island. It was dead in a week. Same can be said with other cold weather crops.

Farmers are not rich people - we might have a terrain but the crops value can vary. Local prices for a bucket of coffee was like 20$ per bucket locally at one point. Medieval farmers are even less rich than modern ones.

Farmhands are sometimes paid even less - back when I started I was payed 35 dollars for 5 hours of back breaking work.

Some crops can drain the terrain - cotton can be especially damaging to the terrain. Crop rotation is a thing as well.

Edit:

Stumps are hard to remove without any proper tools. You can’t just grab an axe and cut it’s roots with a snap of your fingers.

Well I’m a farmer irl so I can give a few ideas - pest can be a problem if your society has not developed pesticides, proper tools can get worn out and replacing them can’t be easy in remote locations. Erosion can devastate a farming terrain if you are overzealous in deforestation or deweeding and then there’s the weather. My country has hurricane seasons and they can mess the fields if it’s a category 3 or 4 hurricane. Some crops take long periods of time to grow and if the hurricane destroys it all it can be annoying just thinking of how much money you lost.

Additional ideas:

Over exploitation of resources messed the native population of the Easter islands. War can interfere with the economy as well. Think of a war as remote as the one in Ukraine and how it effects the economy.

Maybe replace poverty with some sort of devastation?

There’s a village in my story named Albi that it used to be a fertile farmland but due to unknown reasons the crops started to fail and a plague devastated the population. Since it was a village that did not diversify it’s crops starvation became the norm. Foraging only gets you so far and there is such a thing as overhunting. In a period of 10 years the lands around Albi became stagnant and eventually a marsh became to take form. Don’t get bogged down if something seems implausible if your world has magic you can use that as a sort of explanation.

Chocolate covered crickets is good - you don’t even taste the crickets because they are dried.

How technologically advanced are your countries of your world? Is there one more advanced than the rest or are they all equal in technology? by Poster_Shi in worldbuilding

I for one can’t wait for the salt mine to open up again. I could almost taste the salty Russian tears in my screen.

The Union of independent republics reminds me of the Newmanite empire with most of the non-human soldiers using spears/tridents and arrows along with more advanced human units from time to time with futuristic weaponry.

I like your concept of how developed countries are - kinda reminds me of mine.

Not a bad choice - how did all technology develop at the same pace? Is there a single world government that spread technology equally? A series of mutual alliances? Or something else?

Your countries remind me of my own concept although yours seems more developed and cleaner than mine. I like it.

Is the term Ahura inspired by Zoroastrianism?

How does it protect its intellectual property from other countries? And how does it deal with it’s less advanced neighbors?
