Grrl Power VI: Stripping The Hero Doesnt Work

[The Glyphstone]

Yeah, money is simply one of many metrics. Just to throw another wrench on the pile, what if a super has a family? They might be less likely to uproot their family and move to a new culture just for money, but someone might be more inclined to move if their kids grow up in the safety and stability of Greenland instead of, I dunno, East Strawmania.

Basically, you have to figure in and account for all the reasons a person might immigrate/emigrate, or choose not to, in the real world - then on top of that, add that they will be courted like sports stars or celebrities. And possibly threatened for the same reason, not all valuable supers are combat-capable and thus much more vulnerable to negative leverage instead of/alongside positive incentives. The dictatorship of East Strawmania might not be able to match Greenland in bidding for the services of a native Strawmanian super, but 'we will pay you lots of money if you work for us, and lock your parents in prison if you dont' is a powerful carrot-stick combination.
