Much of this growth has been driven by the information technology and biotechnology sectors, as well as other knowledge-intensive services and skill-intensive, high value-added manufacturing.

Mérosar is a port city serving as an important transportation link with Æonara, Paulastra, Burgundian Flordeterra, and Pribraltar.

West Coast Marine Coscivian is the primary language spoken in the city, and Coscivian Catholicism is the predominant religion.
