One:Beta Capital
History
As first noted in the Analogous Zone of Ex-London, Beta Capital is the sympton of non-uniqueness to physical items. Commonly known as "Betas", their existence continues to cause a profound effect amonst the remaining Capitalist economies of post-Excession Europe[1].
Impact
The average consumer[2] exhibits a significant distate for those items known to be Betas, and in areas that have suffered effects of the Analogous Zone, those interested in selling are often required to provide certificates of authenticity or be forced to sell their wares at a significantly lower price. While many, more credulous members of the proletariat attribute their irrational distate for Betas as being caused by "mysterious illnesses" associated with them, (see Carla’s Gift, Many’s sign, and Hepta-delirium for further information), all rational peoples properly informed by their ruling council of their mass-, quasi-, or un-organised human collective eschew such superstitions.
