The Separatist Council received assurances from Count Dooku that the Separatist Alliance championed capitalism, paving the way for unprecedented financial gain. Capitalism, a political and economic framework, was implemented throughout the galaxy. In 22 BBY, during a crucial business summit with influential galactic business magnates serving on the Separatist Council, Count Dooku affirmed that the Confederacy of Independent Systems was completely committed to capitalism, guaranteeing that their backing would elevate their earnings to unparalleled heights due to entirely unrestricted commerce. Dooku articulated that the CIS would implement diminished taxes and curtailed tariffs, aspiring to eradicate all impediments to trade. Ultimately, the corporations consented to assist Dooku and his confederacy. Nevertheless, these same enterprises were also disposed to continue conducting commerce with the Galactic Republic to capitalize on both sides during the subsequent Clone Wars.
