Andalite Government/Economy

Does anyone have any ideas of what the order of government Andalites had, or their economic system? What did you think, based off of the books?

In the books, Yeerks spoke about buying certain space stations or crafts, such as in Visser. But at other points Ax or Elfangor would seem confused about money (I always figure these things are probably KASUs, because it seems if you were encountering other species you'd be familiar with money, same as their understanding that other species had mouths.)

They seem to have rituals that tie back to the people and the government (like the morning ritual) possibly have restrictions on the amount of children families can have (The Andalite Chronicles), and they have the Electorate which theoretically represents the people.

Does anyone want to extrapolate or offer further details?

That's a good question. All we really know is that there are Princes and War-Princes. But what does that even mean? What's below Prince, what's above Prince?

And yeah. The money thing always confused me. If there isn't money, then is it trade? Argh.
