The Eaqânos Poku is an agency of the Galysumanâ'ai (Government) of the Poku Saeruo Degonjo. It supports and manages Clan tradespeople and crafters who voluntarily wish to sell their goods outside of the Lumujo Saei (Territory)

The Clan Cooperative was established by the Poku Saeruo Degonjo in YE 35, soon after the signing of the YE 35 HSC - YSE Treaty. At the time of its formation, only 33 of the Clan's Houses, Greater or Lesser, had craftspeople who participated in the Cooperative. The agency grew in scope rapidly, however, and by YE 38 it had become a major employer of Clan members of the Lelpa Wuny'a (Money Holder) occupation. Its efforts helped many craftspeople great and small see success, and even measures of fame.

The Eaqânos Poku, staffed by Clan members of the Lelpa Wuny'a (Money Holder) Kâbo'kai (Occupations), manage this government agency. Its task is to organize and manage artisans, craftsmen and manufacturers of goods within the clan who wish to sell their wares outside of the Lumujo Saei (Territory). The Cooperative also coordinates the prices of Clan goods in foreign markets, and it handles the exchange of foreign currency as well as the physical aspects of transporting and storing goods.

Only those who volunteer to sell to foreign markets must participate in the Cooperative; craftspeople who sell locally are not required to work with the Cooperative.

Occupations that participate in the Cooperative include any occupation that produces some kind of good that can be sold. The artistic and creative occupations are common members, but Cooks sell recipe books or non-perishable food items, and Historians sell books and media products related to their work, just to name a few other examples.

Craftspeople who sell their goods beyond the management of the Cooperative are considered to be engaging in smuggling and black_market activities, and are in violation of Clan law and subject to investigation and arrest by the Clan Police.
