# Settled Reach — Tier-2 Corporation Catalog: Deep Frontier Corridor
# Source of truth. Compiled to economy.db via `make economy-db`.
#
# The deep frontier is the Reach's margin. Commission presence is sparse
# to absent. Shadow economies are structural — not crime, but necessity.
# German, Afrikaans/Dutch, and Portuguese/Brazilian cultural substrates
# dominate, with extensive mixed-settler communities in waystation systems.
#
# Echternach (GJ 127B) is a Compact-adjacent system at the edge of formal
# space; corps headquartered there treat mark-denominated trade and informal
# Commission-bypass as normal operating procedure, not rebellion.
#
# Knotenpunkt (GJ 1235) is the deep frontier's commercial anchor — a
# transit waystation that is formally Assembly-affiliated but practically
# multi-currency and multi-bloc by necessity. Everything passes through
# Knotenpunkt eventually.
