According to a 32-page profile printed in the weekend edition of the [[Primóra Moon]], another growing but low-profile source of income in the Krasoas is the "VIP real estate" and "quiet retirement" sector, which chiefly involves the sale of comfortable and well-appointed country homes to wealthy individuals, mainly from continental Ixnay and Audonia. As described by an unnamed Krasoan real estate agent who was interviewed for the article, this industry caters to a diverse array of clients, including ousted and disgraced former politicians, foreign lesser nobility and cadet princelings of deposed royal houses, and white-collar criminals. There is usually an element of {{wp|offshore finance}} involved, aided by the islands' proximity to [[Pribraltar]], privileged access to the Pribraltarian financial system, and the fact that many Pribraltar-based banks have branches in Krasoa. This business model was first developed in the [[Melian Islands]], where disused manor houses on coffee plantations in the uplands and secluded beach villas were sold to many foreign buyers with similar needs during the 21190s. | According to a 32-page profile printed in the weekend edition of the [[Primóra Moon]], another growing but low-profile source of income in the Krasoas is the "VIP real estate" and "quiet retirement" sector, which chiefly involves the sale of comfortable and well-appointed country homes to wealthy individuals, mainly from continental Ixnay and Audonia.

Krasoa is firmly integrated into the wider Kiravian financial network. Kerēgulan Merchants' Bank - part of the KMT Group - is the financial institution most heavily invested in the Krasoan economy, having played a crucial role in its colonisation and development. Major regional banks include the Citrus & Chemical Bank, BayWorth Regional Bank, the Bank of Eastion, Sungate Bank, and Homestead Bank. The region's main financial centres are Avenasar and Kangean City. | |||
