| The Mine and the Farm |
Kalahari prospers because of the work of many good people, but also because of the vast natural resources that enrich the Kingdom now, and for the foreseeable future.
The two major sources of income apart from the taxes the King gathers, and his rental income, are the Farm and the Mine. Both of these rely on the natural resources of Kalahari, and the the brilliant work of the Mine and Farm workers, under the supervision of Minister Magdy.
THE MINE
The Mine requires hard work to yield its precious ore, and Magdy has employed some imposing physical specimens to mine the ore. One such muscular man is the beloved Abu, the best man in Kalahari. But Abu is also a skilled craftsman, able to forge the ore into useful tools and weapons.
Yet Abu is only one of the physical marvels who toil in the Mine to enrich the coffers of the Kingdom. Stephanie Brown, known as Prison Manager, is also an extraordinary Mine worker.
At times, the Mine has been filled with workers
and sometimes, only with a solitary member.
But at all times, the gold, copper, and iron flows, and the Royal moneybags grow more full.
THE FARM
While the growth of crops, used to feed the animals and in the recipes at the Tavern and for special events in Kalahari, is a major goal of the Farm, far more goes on in this fascinating place.
Animal husbandry, overseen by the always faithful Abu, is a key component of the Farm.
And an often overlooked produce from the Farm are the textiles, which produce the beautiful cloths, carpets, and tapestries in beautiful Kalahari, as well as Garden implements,as shown here in the work of Elyssa Kalaratri.

THE TAVERN
 |
| The ancient Tavern |
 |
| The Delicious Syrup Tavern |
For almost a century, the Delicious Syrup Tavern has catered to kings and queens, slaves and slave traders, merchants, soldiers, sailors, artists, dancers, musicians, storytellers, and even served the occasional pastry to a deserving minister.
The King has shown his gratitude to Tavern Managers for their service to the Kingdom

But the Tavern has been more than just a place for food and drink; it also has been the site of weddings,

A hidden benefactress of Kalahari is Queen Nathalie of Romania, whose donation of the Bath House from her large royal purse has benefited generations of Kalaharians.

King Hassan has taken a personal interest in the Bath House, and often discusses business with the Bath House Manager Diana Geesink in her luxurious personal quarters.
