Profit is seen as distinct from capitalism. Capitalism is an economic system in which the the means of production are not owned by the workers who man them but rather private owners (wealthy elites, in the modern day often shareholders who are not employees of the company they own stock in). Leftist economies encourage that the profit make its way back to the workers who helped create it in some fashion (whether it\'s a raise or investing in better infrastructure), but they are the ones who have say over a private owner, who is essentially a third party who reaps the spoils afterwards, and decides that some of it can go back to the people who made it in the form of wages and contracts. Merchants can still exist in a non-capitalist system, it\'s more a matter of who they answer to. The Nopon are somewhat and wealth-driven, but they are accepted because they are not part of the plutocratic elite.

Profit is not exclusively limited to capitalism. Capitalism is an economic system in which the the means of production are not owned by the workers who man them but rather private owners (wealthy elites, in the modern day often shareholders who are not employees of the company they own stock in). It\\\'s \\\'\\\'associated\\\'\\\' with capitalism because capitalism often treats profit as the primary goal above other things, whereas leftist economies will range in their opinions on profit, but usually encourage that it\\\'s a good thing but should make its way back down to the workers who helped create it (whether it\\\'s a raise or investing in better infrastructure), but they are the ones who have say over a private owner, who is essentially a third party who reaps the spoils afterwards, and decides that some of it can go back to the people who made it in the form of predetermined wages and contracts.

The Nopon are wealth-driven, but they are accepted because they are not part of the plutocratic elite and thus not a similar threat, but the games have past examples of Nopon who\\\'ve amassed enough soft power to be villainous.
