Ceylonia's foreign policies have mostly been heavily influenced by its two progenitor nations: Cartadania and Tierrador. Ceylonia joined the [[League of Nations]] following its independence in 1964 and the [[Cronan Commonwealth Development Organization|CCDO]] in 2030, alongside [[Cartadania]] and [[Tierrador]]. Historically, the Ceylonia has mostly followed the foreign policy of Cartadania due to its ties to Alahuela and Cartadania's continued presence in the nation and Crona, broadly. However, during the 1950s and 60s, it began to align its foreign policy and relations with Tierrador, all while still keeping close ties with the Sarpedonian power. Approaching the 70s, Cartadania again began to increase influence in Crona and strengthened its diplomatic involvement with Ceylonia, shifting the policies and relations back toward that of Alahuela. Today, Ceylonia’s foreign influence is mostly split half and half between Tierrador and Cartadania. | Ceylonia's foreign policies have mostly been heavily influenced by its two progenitor nations: Cartadania and Tierrador.

Ceylonia gave its support to Tierrador and provided passive support during the [[Tawakee War]] in 1965. It also was indirectly involved in the [[Mosquito War]], where it once again provided passive support to Tierrador in its campaign against [[Istrenya]]. In the 21st century, Ceylonia participated in assisting its Cronan neighbors and [[Occident|Occidental]] peers in the [[The Deluge|lengthy conflict]] against [[Zurgite Varshan|Varshan]] in Central and Northern Crona through various indirect means. | ||

Ceylonia, with its mixed economy, represents a dynamic economic landscape that incorporates elements of both market-driven principles and government intervention. It features a substantial [[w:gross domestic product|gross domestic product]] of about $1.5 trillion, which is indicative of the nation's robust economic performance and its capacity to generate significant wealth. Ceylonia's economy is qualified [[w:High-income economy|high-income]], with a GDP per capita of $43,291, ranking the nation amongst one of the highest in [[Crona]]. Foreign influence from Ceylonia's Cronan neighbors, most notably Tierrador and Alstin, along with former colonial power Cartadania, have assisted the nation's economy since its independence in 1964. As of 2033, the top industries in Ceylonia were agriculture, tourism, mineral extraction, and automobile manufacturing. | Ceylonia, with its mixed economy, represents a dynamic economic landscape that incorporates elements of both market-driven principles and government intervention.

Historically, Ceylonia's economy had been dominated by extractive industries, focusing mostly on sealing, whaling, mineral extraction, native timber, and marijuana. The arrival of Qabóri settlers in 677 AD marked a significant early turning point in the economic landscape for the nation. As the area was slowly integrated into the Qabóri Woqalate, the infusion of the Qabóri settlers brought with them a wealth of knowledge, skills, and traditions that played a pivotal role in shaping the development of newer industries and fostering a more extensive network of overseas trade. This gave Ceylonia a massive economic boost throughout its first colonial period.

This gave Ceylonia a massive economic boost throughout its first colonial period. After being granted semi-autonomy in 1434, as the [[Yapokee Woqalate]], the country kept most of its Qabóri-influenced industries and knowledge of global trade at the time. For the duration of its existence, a little over 250 years, the Qopakee Woqalate mostly kept to [[South Crona]], however, from time to time there would be trade deals with [[Levantia|Levantine]] and [[Sarpedon|Sarpedonian]] powers, though mostly through the much more powerful and influential Qabóri Woqalate. | ||

[[File:Fort Lauderdale Skyline.jpeg|thumb|Skyline of East Sachia, the second-largest city and an important hub for cruise travel.|alt=|left]] Large government sponsored marketing campaigns to attract tourists advertised Ceylonia as an inexpensive and exotic, yet safe, destination for international tourists. Most of the visitors to Ceylonia come from South Crona, however it has seen a rise in Cartadanian tourists due to foreign policy shifts. Most tourists visit between April and August. Ceylonia has a relatively high number of tourists due mostly in part to its location—bordering the much larger Tierrador and using that location to attract visitors to its beaches. The [[Ceylon Tourism Board]] regularly advertises in tourist trap areas throughout the Tierradorian regions of [[Aracadó]], [[Auqali]] and [[Las Rozas]], encouraging tourists in those areas take one- to three-day trips to the country. Tourism in Ceylonia is largely based on the country's culture, and most tourists tend to visit ancient Yapokee cities. | |||

According to the [[Ceylon Department of Transportation]] (CeyDOT), the Ceylon road network is valued at about $110 billion. The road system in Ceylonia is mainly centralized, with several highways running east-to-west and connecting Santa Maria to other cities on the west coast such as East Sachia, Antakee, Novo Sierra, and Saqauwee, as well as several communities in the south and east. The road system in Santa Maria is the densest network in the country, with paved roads connecting the city to virtually every area of Ceylonia. Ceylon roads also handle substantial international traffic, connecting with cities in neighboring Tierrador and [[The Cape]] at the numerous border crossing checkpoints. Historically, most of the national highways were privately-owned. However, due to the inconsistency with maintenance leading to poor quality in rural areas, along with ridiculously-high toll costs, the highway system eventually received higher government subsidization, and the CeyDOT eventually took control of most of the paved road system within the nation. | ||
