Loosening regulations in the [[1920]]s and general peace created the "golden age of Odoneru commerce" as understood within New Archduchy; this period between 1920 and the beginning of the [[Second Great War]] in [[1934]] was the greatest period of economic growth in the history of New Archduchy. As commerce and traffic across the Odoneru grew, New Archduchy became one of the premier coaling and fueling stations in the world. The Republic became a major {{wp|tax haven}} for individuals across the [[Occident]]. Due to the wealth that began to be accumulated in the Republic, major improvements were made to Adriansville's streets, roads, and buildings, making the city accessible for tourists. New Archduchy became a major site of [[Caphiria]]n tourism during the interwar period, as it allowed Caphirian tourists to experience a variation on [[Urcean people|Urcean]]-descended culture and cuisine. Travel to Urcea had been banned and engaging with Urceans or Urcean culture incurred significant cultural stigma due to the notion of [[Levantine Creep]], and neutral New Archduchy made these things accessible to Caphirians without the legal sanction or social repercussions. | Loosening regulations in the [[1920]]s and general peace created the "golden age of Odoneru commerce" as understood within New Archduchy; this period between 1920 and the beginning of the [[Second Great War]] in [[1934]] was the greatest period of economic growth in the history of New Archduchy.

New Archduchy became a major travel destination during the "golden age", not only for tourists but also as the primary port for ocean liners full of people bound for [[Arcerion]]. The construction of the first railroad line between Arcerion and Adriansville in [[1905]]-[[1907]] had dividends for New Archduchy's economy, as by [[1930]] it surpassed all Arcer ports for both import and export business heading to or originating in Arcerion. New Archduchy and Arcerion signed the Commerce Enhancement Agreement in 1913 which significantly slashed customs and dues for Arcerion business coming through New Archduchy, but the considerable volume of business still created massive revenues for the Republic. | New Archduchy became a major travel destination during the "golden age", not only for tourists but also as the primary port for ocean liners full of people bound for [[Arcerion]].
