Sounds like the 'ideal' of communism (not the Soviet stuff, please don't misunderstand me) where children were considered of such importance that parents were looked after by everyone on some level to make sure they were viable (every adult being a parent to every child as Marx put it, I think...could be wrong).
I could see that working for echidnas, by their nature they are much more basic than most mammals, closer to reptiles, so their perception of 'wants and needs' are probably different too...
You've got me interested, and I know nothing about this series at all!
They're more comparable to American Indians in their version of communism. Though they still allow personal ownership. They have technology(this offshoot group holds the idea that the old ways of the tribe were bad, due to the fact it almost got them all killed). Despite their decision to open up to the outside world, however, their only routine trade is between the fruit company owned by Rouge and her husband- they get apples, strawberries and such and export oranges, bananas and more tropical stuff. Fruit for fruit.
I'll have you start here for reference as my stuff deals with "console canon". http://diosoth.net46.net/canon/soniccanon.html
While most people want to see ALL the games as a single series, there are far too many contradictions and retcons if they are. But if you divide them into 2 separate timelines, remove "non canon" games, etc, a lot of the inconsistencies become consistent.
That page isn't even REMOTELY finished, but the console canon section is done.
And until Sega says otherwise, Chronicles is considered a non-canon side story.

Tagged "M" per FF.net's strict content guidelines but these are the "censored" copies of the stories without the more mature-but-not-plot-relevant scenes. You MIGHT still need an account to view them though due to the rating tag, I don't know.
