The economy of Vallejar, characterized by its dependence and development in the military, medical, and technological sectors, is an upper-middle income developing mixed economy. The economic domain is subject to rigorous and effective examination by both governmental bodies and independent domestic and international organizations. This scrutiny is particularly pronounced in the Vallos region, where Vallejar possesses a notable market presence amongst its various neighbors. The economy is noted for stable industrial relations, as well as its fairly low unemployment and inflation rates, especially relative to the proximal nations of Vallos and southern Sarpedon.

Vallejar's economic framework is organized into distinct sectors, reflecting a deliberate focus on diversification as a strategic imperative. This intentional diversification is recognized for its role in enhancing the resilience of the economy, enabling it to withstand various economic challenges encountered on a global scale.

The significance attributed to the economic domain in Vallejar is intricately linked with the historical implication of enduring scarcity and adversity over numerous centuries, notably stemming from past conflicts and attempts at subjugation by external forces, especially those of Pelaxia. This protracted period of historical challenges has instilled sentiments of resentment within the populace, coupled with the development of an ethical ethos. This collective sentiment has been codified in the Vallejarian constitution post-independence, emphasizing the constitutional principle that national sovereignty, inclusive of economic sovereignty, is vested in the citizenry of Vallejar.

Economic History

The economy of Vallejar, like all economies throughout history, has undergone changes in production quantity, produced goods, sectors, among other things. These changes are attributed to the conflicts faced by the nation, the shift in ideologies over time, and, above all, technological advancements.

Origin Era:

During the Origin Era, the economy relied on barter between tribes or different native peoples in the region. Barter-based economy was minimal due to constant conflicts and struggles among peoples for superiority and accumulation of different natural resources provided by the land.

Era of Perpetual Prosperity:

Marked by a significant reduction in conflicts, this era facilitated economic development for all tribes. They began consolidating into more organized entities open to trade with any available commodity. The economy revolved around barter, gifts of goods between states as a symbol of friendship, and the initiation of currency usage. Common currency, based on coined silver abundant in the region, became prevalent.

Early Medieval Era:

Conflicts resumed during this period between now consolidated kingdoms and barbarian states, leading to economic downturns. The economy transformed into complete autarky, with only a few excess goods traded among allied states. Modernization occurred, leading to the early stages of professionalization in the manufacturing sector. The use of currency expanded, and the first monetary entities and their respective banks were established.

Medieval Era:

Characterized by stability, this era resulted from the supremacy of Sumania, a kingdom that unified the territory under its rule. This unification shifted the economy from strict autarky to a more open one, with increased importance placed on markets with other states. Manufacturing and natural resources played a crucial role in the economy, and currency strengthened its position as the primary medium of exchange.

Colonial Era:

The least prosperous period in Vallejar's modern history, marked by Pelaxia's conquest, shifted political, economic, and social power to a foreign authority. Pelaxia exploited the region's natural resources and native labor under quasi-slavery conditions. The local currency, Sumna, was replaced forcefully by Pelaxia's currency, Salía, limiting economic freedom.

War of Independence:

During the conflict between native populations and Pelaxian conquerors, the economy came to a halt. However, reserves held by revolutionaries allowed for the purchase of weaponry and influence. The revolutionaries adopted a system where all renounced their belongings in favor of the revolutionary forces. The economy relied on the manufacturing of military equipment and food production to sustain the population and fighters. Barter systems were implemented in many parts of the territory.

Independence and Sovereignty:

After the independence conflict ended in 1829, the economic system returned to the people, officially named Vallejar. Properties were restored to those who had renounced them in favor of the revolutionaries. Reconstruction efforts were promoted, and investments in technologies and industries accelerated the process. The provisional government worked on a constitution to protect all citizens and opened political borders for external resources and international relations. In late 1829, Vallejar was peacefully integrated into the Loa Empire, a significant relief for both the population and the economy. This integration helped economic and technological development, and the official currency, the Vallejarian peseta, was established, improving the nation's economic freedom and sovereignty.

Economic Legislation

According to Vallejar's legislation, each and every business, organization, and productive association is under the protection of the Vallejar government. This means that the law protects and shelters all national and foreign enterprises within Vallejarian territory, implying the state's full capacity and reservation of the right to intervene in all significant economic transactions that take place within the national territory. This is to ensure sovereignty and the defense of national interests.

The law also gives the state power to interfere in the market if the economic situation is unstable or a crisis occurs, but most of the time the market remains managed by the companies themselves and the population that needs their services or products.

Vallejar has very specific economic legislation, which helps the formation of new companies by having favorable conditions, and it also attracts both foreign companies and capital investments thanks to the comfort and security that the market offers.

Economic Sectors

Vallejar's economic sectors are diverse, distinct, and economically broad, contributing to a well-diversified economy. These sectors are managed and maintained according to their own contexts and hierarchical characteristics. In some cases, the state may acquire ownership stakes in companies and even be part of their management teams. There are also instances where companies in a particular sector are wholly publicly owned and explicitly serve the needs of the people and/or the government. Each sector is composed of organizations, businesses, or productive associations, representing the most basic unit of the economy.

All sector companies are, to a greater or lesser extent, interconnected or related to each other, fostering a spirit of unity among workers.

Vallejar's agriculture stands out for its fertile lands, where barley and grapes grow with surprising ease and quality. This allows alcoholic beverages, not as acclaimed nationally, to be sold and exported abroad, where alcohol consumption is more widespread. This contributes significantly to the sector's profits, accounting for approximately 41% annually.

In addition to fertile lands, Vallejar is blessed with abundant water resources along the coast and inland, thanks to numerous rivers that hydrate every part of the national territory. These rivers are utilized for sports fishing, supplying water to localities, and natural irrigation of fields, saving landowners considerable costs. The coastal areas are also exploited for obtaining various types of fish for commercial purposes, leveraging the vast expanse of Vallejar's seas under international maritime sovereignty laws.

The statistics of this sector correlate with its importance, with graphs showing that approximately 12,2% of economic activity and state benefits come from this sector.
