=== Economy === | |||
The Arcer economy can be considered to be robust, and is appraised by most to be a mix market economy, although some government regulators wish to see a greater emphasis on command-style economic policies to protect Arco interests. This leads to the population of ~89,000,000 having a GDP per capita of $52,301, and a total national GDP of $2.957 trillion. Economists would consider the Arcer economy to be Agrarian/Industrial, with most pointing out that Arcerion can't seem to decide if it wants to fully embrace industry or retain its agricultural and traditional economic practices. The Arcer economy revolves predominantly around its exports, and is an export-focused economy, being almost self-sufficient. Its main exports are usually defined by the governate that they emanate from, with each of the four governates having a distinctly different economic intake and output. | |||
Foxhey, the smallest of the Arco governates, has a mostly agrarian economy. It also boasts a healthy fishing sector, which thrives during the Malentine Sea's spring and summer. Characterized by its traditional economy, the small towns and villages export wheat, barley, and other grain crops. It is ranked as one of the most productive economies from a provincial-standpoint in Arcerion. The second-smallest economy comes from Norham, in the Northeast. Due to political instability along the Northern Arco border, Norham is essentially a slightly larger version of Foxhey. Small cottage farms and local market industry define its exports, and its lone port town, Norpool Cross, is the most Northern port in the Malentine, making it a central hub for imports to much of the Upper Peninsula. The two giants of the Arcer economy, the twin governates of Northlea and Moorden can at best be contrasted by their cities and rural areas. In Northlea, the cities are bustling centers of market economic power, with stock exchanges, banks, and financial institutions serving as the white-collar backbone of the governate's economy. Beyond the cities, Northlea's vast size and rolling plains are covered in patchwork industrial farms, with government subsidies on farming machinery and equipment allowing it to become the breadbasket of the North-Eastern Peninsula. This serves in direct contrast to Moorden. Moorden's large mountains are home to some of Crona's largest industrial mining facilities, and the governate's capital, Easthampton, is a massive industrial city with large manufacturing centers and raw ore processing facilities, giving it the nickname 'Steelhampton.' | |||

=== Transportation and Infrastructure === | |||
The keystone of Arcerion is the Arco National Railway Service (ANRS). Founded shortly after economic independence from Carna, the ANRS serves as the lifeline for much of the country's rural communities for the efficient transportation of goods and services. | |||
