Through most eras, the standard unit of currency in Guardia is [[Gold]], represented by the letter G (usually capital). In [[Prehistory]], gold is accepted by minor apothecaries. The merchant in [[Ioka Village Hut]] accepts [[Petals]], [[Fangs]], [[Horns]], and [[Feathers]] as currency. In the [[Future]], the authenticity and value of gold coins is questioned by the merchants, but are never turned down. [[Silver Point]]s, a special brand of currency, is only obtainable and spendable in Leene Square. | Through most eras, the standard unit of currency in Guardia is [[Gold]], represented by the letter G (usually capital).

Although a [[Cathedral]] exists in the Middle Ages, there is no evidence or reference to god(s) within. No paintings, sculptures, or edifices praise any celestial being anywhere in time. The only mention of deity stems from Robo, a sentient machine, who ponders the meaning of life and the seemingly intentional stream of events braided into the lives of inhabitants of Guardia while reforesting the Southern Continent for four hundred years. Sophisticated as this idea seems, the being is only named "[[Entity]]". Little else is known about it and little proof is given to its existence and role in the lives of Guardians. | |||

[[File:Guardia's_trial.png|thumb|The trial of Crono in the Castle of Guardia]]Guardia is ruled by monarchs and their successors; [[Guardia Castle]] is their seat. A judicial system was introduced some time between [[600 AD]] and [[1000 AD]] at the suggestion of the [[Chancellor]] due to Queen Leene's kidnapping by [[Yakra]]. After Leene's resure, Crono is put on trial, represented by lawyer [[Pierre]], in the very system his actions inspired. Ironically, whether the court finds him guilty or innocent of kidnapping [[Marle]], he is thrown in prison, pending execution. This suggests that while democracy blossoms in Guardia, there are still faults as noblemen refuse to relinquish their power. | [[File:Guardia's_trial.png|thumb|The trial of Crono in the Castle of Guardia]]Guardia is ruled by monarchs and their successors; [[Guardia Castle]] is their seat.
