Herciana: Difference between revisions

Since the [[Assumption Accords]], Herciana has existed within [[Caphiria]]'s customs control zone and market, and consequently is subject to the economic regulations of Caphiria. Its economy is becoming increasingly integrated with that of neighboring [[Thessia]]. It, along with [[Ventotene]], are the two island possessions of Urcea where Urcean importers are required to pay customs and dues on their goods. Most of the Herci economy is dependent on trade, with shipping-adjacent service industry, fishing, and service industry adjacent to the [[Royal Air Force (Urcea)|Royal Air Force]] base on the island making up a majority of the island's economic activity. Efforts in the late 20th century by the [[Government of Urcea]] to make the island a major hub of shipbuilding were largely unsuccessful, but accordingly many of the island's port infrastructure is considered world class. Tourism on the island is relatively rare, although has been increasing in recent years due to newly uncovered ruins from the era of the Messisorian Kingdom. The Royal Air Force base has small adjacent airstrips for civilian use, and no major international airport exists on the island, although civilian flights from [[Halfway]] have become increasingly common since the end of the [[Occidental Cold War]].
