As a result, the government of Rumahoki exerts a strong directive influence through the use of {{wp|indicative planning}} to supplement market forces for guiding the economy. Enterprises such as mass public transportation, energy, and the basic infrastructure for telecommunications are under state control, and private corporations are given various incentives from the state to merge or engage in certain projects as needed. | As a result, the government of Rumahoki exerts a strong directive influence through the use of {{wp|indicative planning}} to supplement market forces for guiding the economy.

' | Rumahoki's main sectors can be divided into two areas: the privately-owned sectors, and the publicly-owned sectors. The major publicly-owned sectors are typically services that serve the population in general such as healthcare, electricity, and mass public transportation. For these sectors, the constitution explicitly forbids domestic private firms from directly conducting business in these sectors. The privately-owned sectors are different in that although the government may directly conduct business in these sectors, domestic private firms may also directly conduct business in them. The three largest privately-owned sectors of the Rumahokian economy are in telecommunications, shipping, and retail. By allowing private firms to directly conduct business in certain sectors that do not have the ability to potentially exploit the people, the Rumahokian government has aimed to ensure a growing semi-market economy while at the same guaranteeing what the constitution deems to be "key human rights". Although the constitution forbids foreign businesses to conduct any kind of business in the country, they are permitted to conduct business in the special economic zones in [[Portas Gemeas]] and [[Santa Maria]]. Furthermore, there exists a loophole that allows for businesses to conduct business outside of the special economic zones if they establish their regional headquarters in any of the special economic zones; this is known as the [[headquarters loophole]], and quite a few major businesses throughout the Occident have taken advantage of it. | ||

The Rumahokian healthcare system greatly emphasises the {{wp|right to healt|right to the universal access to healthcare}} and as such the government holds a monopoly on healthcare funding which it gets through {{wp|income tax|income taxes}}, making it a form of {{wp|single-payer healthcare|single-payer}} {{wp|universal healthcare}}. In practice, this means that access to any healthcare institution in Rumahoki, which is always a government-owned facility as domestic private healthcare has been declared forbidden by the constitution as part of the country's commitment to {{wp|socialism}} and the eventual transition to {{wp|communism}} in the future, is guaranteed at no further cost to the patient. With a consistently growing economy since the early 21st Century, the Rumahokian healthcare system has generally improved over time with it eventually becoming one of the best systems in Vallos in the 2020s. Healthcare funding in Rumahoki comprises about fifteen per cent of the country's GDP, which is over $7,016 per capita, making it among the most-funded healthcare systems in the subcontinent. | |||

Rumahoki is a major producer of {{wp|nuclear energy}}, it having been national policy since the 1970s when the [[Delepasian Commonwealth]] began to pursue {{wp|energy security}}. As noted in the constitution, the energy sector is one of the three major sectors of the economy under complete government ownership with no exemptions for private firms. The {{wp|Nuclear energy in Rumahoki|heavy investment into nuclear power}} had allowed for the nation to have one of the highest amounts of operational nuclear power plants, at over fifty. Presently, the percentage of energy generated through nuclear power in Rumahoki is 84%; {{wp|wind energy}} is common along the shores of the nation and makes up about 8% of the energy generated in the country. {{wp|Solar energy}} is usually prevalent amongst more remote areas of the country and citizens who live {{wp|off-the-grid}}, making up 8% as well. | |||
These stats seem to suggest that there is no energy in Rumahoki that has been generated through {{wp|fossil fuels}}, the last of the {{wp|power plants}} in Rumahoki that made use of fossil fuels was shut down permanently in 2017 as part of the government's commitment to ending reliance on fossil fuels. The end of fossil fuel reliance for the energy sector has been seen as a source a pride throughout the country, ensuring that even a hypothetical {{wp|oil crisis}} will not turn into a potential {{wp|energy shortage}}. {{wp|Brownouts}} and {{wp|blackouts}} are recorded to be a rarity save for times of maintenance. | |||
{{wp|Wind turbines}} are at their most numerous within the [[Porto Taino Wind Farm]], a {{wp|wind farm}} located off the coast of northern [[Porta Gemeas]] that was constructed in 2006 and was fully operational by 2010. The rest of the wind turbines are located off the coast of [[Homberia]] as part of the [[New Rumas Wind Farm]], itself having been constructed in 2014 and was fully operational by 2016. All wind farms are connected to an on-shore "battery unit", a building that stores the energy generated by the wind farms for use on the power grids of the autonomous islands. Solar power has found its greatest use in the state of [[Auxana]], which has had a long history of opposing nuclear power. | |||
