# Utility and Governance

* **Corporations and Production Licenses:** Corporations in **AoM: Empires** must acquire production licenses to manufacture specific items used in **AoM: Citadels.** These licenses can be unlimited, limited, or time-bound, allowing Corporations to specialize and build their domain. Additionally, Corporations can also obtain a unique 1-of-1 NFT patent, which grants the ability to create and sell production licenses to other Corporations. With a production license, Corporations can sell Order Permits to players in **AoM: Citadels**, giving them the ability to order specific items from Corporations. Players must own the corresponding Order Permit to initiate the manufacturing process for that specific item.

* **Land and Facility Improvements:** Landowners in **AoM: Empires** can invest in improvements to boost resource extraction rates or uncover hidden resources. These improvements can be obtained through gameplay or by using $ASH tokens to influence the High Council.

* **Governance:** The High Council of the Consortium is the ultimate authority, with $ASH holders influencing major decisions. Voting power is determined by token holdings, resource management, and economic contributions across both Citadel and Empires.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://aom-empires.gitbook.io/aom/economy/interactive-blocks.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
