=====Shipbreaking=====

Tapakdore's shipbreaking industry offers a significant source of raw materials and employment opportunities, but it has also been historically marred by safety concerns and environmental hazards. {{wp|Shipbreaking}}, the dismantling of aged, obsolete, or irreparable vessels that have reached the end of their operational lifespans. These ships are brought to Tapakdore, primarily from developed nations, where stricter environmental regulations and safety standards make the process costlier, to be disposed of. For Tapakdore, shipbreaking presents an attractive opportunity to acquire steel, a vital resource for its growing manufacturing sector. The recovered steel is reprocessed and utilized in various industries, from construction and automotive parts to appliances and machinery. This influx of steel contributes to Tapakdore's economic development and reduces its dependence on virgin ore imports. The shipbreaking industry in Tapakdore is heavily reliant on manual labor. Workers, often with limited safety gear and training, are tasked with the dangerous job of dismantling these ships. Works cut through layers of steel, remove asbestos and other hazardous materials, and extract usable components, all under precarious conditions. These challenging and risky jobs provide a reliable source of income for many, many of whom travel from the interior where jobs are scarce.

Despite its economic benefits, the shipbreaking industry in Tapakdore has faced harsh criticism due to its lax safety standards and environmental impact. Prior to recent reforms, worker safety was also a primary concern. Accidents resulting in injuries and fatalities were frequent occurrences due to inadequate protective equipment, improper dismantling techniques, and exposure to toxic materials. The industry has been accused of polluting the environment through the improper disposal of hazardous waste like asbestos, oil spills, and toxic paints. These pollutants can contaminate nearby water bodies, soil, and air, posing a significant threat to human health and marine ecosystems. In recent years [[Burgundie]] and other nations in the [[Middle seas region]] have pressured the royal family of Tapakdore to improve safety standards and have provided finacial and technical aid to help clean up the ship breaking yards.
