Description
While many know mostly of King Speedy Hooves, Queen Galaxia, their son, and their lives as the main rulers of the Equestrian Empire (consisting of the mainland Equestria, The Crystal Empire, along with other Equine related territories. Many do not know what the lives of our other alicorn fusions. For example, the current King and Queen of the Crystal district of the Equestrian Empire, Calm Merriment and his wife Motherly Morning. Here we get a glimpse at what rule of these two is like in a completely different part of Equestria in this new world and order.

The Crystal “Empire” is now just a city-state (not even a “big one” like Manehattan), instead of an actual “nation”.
So I guess the “relevance” of the management on matters of trade/building is not as important as the “raw” production & the dynamism raisng from internal competition [less “state” interference & more self_regulation].
Good answer!
I mean wouldn’t local businesses count as infrastructure and “resources” playing a role to the economy of the city and more so, all the while the visiting the guards would allow them to inspect elements of their armed forces and make arrangements for upgrades and further sharpening of the defenses for the city state..With the intention being not to start wars but rather to survive one and if need be to win it..
Again, I think the royal guard inspection section is enough to garner her interest in said missing task. Sure, and AJ would know better than anypony the value of creating an environment that is friendly to competition and open in a business free for all while maintaining as minimal a stake in the economic ecosystem only to prevent major monopolization and coordination from the very government that she and her husband control to stem corruption…
-> You know, the thing that win wars or something…
I blame Rainbow Dash on this “missing task” in the list (while Applejack may not like it either, she at least understands how important balances are for a “family bussiness”).
