The economy of Puertego is a mixed socialist-oriented market economy with the private sector allowed to operate in much of the economy though state control still being common in many industries such as utilities and natural resources. The economy is one of the fastest growing on the continent with it consistently measuring 8-9% GDP growth every year with the economy showing no real signs of slowing in its growth any time soon unless a catastrophic event hits the economy unexpectedly. While the economy has seen rapid and continuous growth ever since 2008 there are still many people who critique many aspects of the economy such as the massive income inequality and poverty allowed to exist in it with Puertego having some of the worst income inequality in the entire world, there has also been criticism towards the countries heavy corruption in state run industries, lack of wage growth despite the growing economy, and the lack of a lot of social welfare commonly found in other countries.
The Puertegan economy was formerly almost exclusively based on farming cash crops and selling them abroad with things such as sugar and rubber however in recent times the economy has been moving to a more industrialized one with the country making it very easy and profitable for companies to outsource their production to Puertego, in recent times Puertego has become a large producer of things such as steel, textiles, chemicals, various refined metals, and aluminum though natural resource extraction still remains a large sector of the economy with mining copper, tin, zinc, nickel and other minerals as well as farming sugar, rubber, and tobacco still being large industries in Puertego. Services are a small sector of the economy with the government prioritizing industry and the only real service jobs are in shipping, finance, or banking or government operated utility companies. Remittances are the last part of the Puertegan economy with the country receiving an estimated $70 billion back from the 14 million Puertegan working abroad often in [[Pelaxia]], [[Cartadinia]], and [[Caphiria]]. The economy of Puertego is largely export based with exports outnumbering imports on a scale of 12 to 1, the country is one of the world's largest importers of energy with them buying coal, oil, and natural gas from almost anyone aboard who will sell it to them as well as being a large importer of food.

=== Mining ===
[[File:Potosi Décembre 2007 - Industrie Minière.jpg|thumb|left|A mine in the eastern mountains of Puertego]]
Mining has always been and remains a large part of the Puertegan economy with the country producing according to 2025 data 18,500 tons of tin, 1,400,000 tons of zinc, 270,000 tons of nickel, 24,500 tons of cobalt, 2,400 tons of lithium, 120 tons of gold, 4,160 tons of silver, and 45,000,000 tons of iron ore. It is estimated through official state numbers that 14% of the population is employed through mining with wages in the sector being barely below average for Puertego and all being employed in the state-run mining company with private companies in that sector being disallowed by law granting the state a complete monopoly on mining operations in Puertego.
=== Manufacturing ===
The manufacturing industry in Puertego has experienced rapid growth in recent years with the countries cities becoming heavily industrialized, manufacturing accounts for 2/3rds of GDP in Puertego and employs 1/3rd of the countries workforce. In 2030 the government of Puertego announced that the manufacturing industry had been completely privatized with the last few factories of the state-owned cement company being liquidated and the company being disbanded, growth in the sector remains extremely high with it experiencing a growth rate of around 14% yearly. The largest manufacturing sectors in Puertego are metallurgy, cement, chemicals, and textiles with smaller industries in arms, alcohol, machinery, food processing, and arms. In Puertego it's estimated that around 80% of manufacturing businesses are foreign owned with the 20% domestic owned ones almost universally being owned by high-ranking government officials in Puertego.
=== Construction ===
Construction in Puertego has been a booming sector since the onset of the nation's rapid industrialization with the demand for new factories in the nation with the building of new factories and infrastructure to accommodate the countries rapidly growing industry as well as the governments large scale projects across the country. Construction in Puertego is privately owned with the state-run construction company being liquidated in 2019 with 4 large-scale privately-owned construction companies all filling its place almost immediately with the companies being owned by the current minister of Internal Security, two former members of the National Assembly, and a high-ranking general in the Puertegan army, however besides the big four construction companies in Puertego there are several much smaller privately owned construction companies which often operate on the grey market in an attempt to dodge taxes on their work with construction estimated to be the largest grey market industry in Puertego by far.
=== Energy & Other Utilities ===


{{Infobox civilian attack
The energy and other utility sectors of Puertego remain under complete state control with the state granting itself a monopoly on the sector. The energy sector is primarily fueled through natural gas, crude oil, and coal though hydropower also makes up a sizeable portion of energy generated however the government has made an attempt to switch to less environmentally destructive methods of energy generation with multiple nuclear power plants currently being built in order to meet the nation's growing energy needs. The national energy grid often has trouble producing enough energy to sustain the national energy consumption which spiked significantly after the nations rapid industrialization with the government choosing to save energy for the industrial sector leading to only 1 in every 4-5 streetlights being kept on and scheduled black outs in the nation's cities being a daily occurrence often lasting around 2.5 hours each day and only buildings deemed necessities like government offices and hospitals being unaffected, though there have been initiatives by the government to increase the percentage of the population with access to electricity in their homes only around 45% of Puertegans currently have access with the presence of large amounts of informal housing being a primary obstacle to achiving higher levels. The water industry in Puertego is also state owned just like the electricity industry with many recent improvements to the water supply of Puertego in recent years such as vastly improved sanitation and disinfecting along with access to clean drinking water in cities being almost universal and in rural areas reaching an average of 75% with access.

The '''Atomic bombing of Zakan Rot''' was the detonation of an atomic bomb in the city of Zakan Rot, [[Seneca Islands]], by the government of [[Varshan]]. The explosion was aimed at disrupting the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] campaign in the [[Seneca Islands]] generally and was intended to destroy the port city specifically. It was the first use of a nuclear weapon in combat during the [[Second Great War]]. Multiple observers and the [[League of Nations]] described the bombing as a "war crime" due to the significant civilian casualties that resulted from the blast, nearly all of which were Varshani citizens. The bombing also had significant negative economic, ecological, and humanitarian impacts on the [[Seneca Islands]]. It also directly resulted in the [[Atomic bombing of Shimrra]].


==Background==
{{Main|Operation Jonah}}


As part of the [[Final War of the Deluge]], [[Alstin|Alstinian]] and [[Urcea|Urcean]] forces successfully invaded the island of [[Seneca Islands|West Seneca]] and removed [[Varshan|Varshani]] control over the island as part of [[Operation Jonah]]. As [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] forces continued to advance towards the last major holdout at Zakan Rot, Varshani military forces believed they could no longer control the island or port. The location of Zakan Rot put the Varshani mainland at risk of invasion in addition to the threat posed to East Seneca. By 18 January, Varshani forces determined that the port would be denied to the Occidental forces "by any means necessary". On 22 January, a 300 kt tactical nuclear device was smuggled onto the island. Over the course of February, the defense of the city was mounted in such a way to draw as many Royal and Imperial Army forces into the city as possible, including the creation of "ghost cells" throughout the geographical expanse of the city. On February 23, the Zurg of [[Varshan]] gave the order to detonate the device when local commanders believed most convenient.
=== Gambling ===


==Detonation==
The gambling industry in Puertego was originally outlawed in by the 2002 Moral Standards Act which outlawed all unauthorized forms of gambling and provided for penalties ranging from monetary fines to short prison sentences, although the Puertegan government does not list gambling as an offense which someone is able to go to prison over. However, while gambling is still officially illegal in Puertego the law only applies to Puertegan citizens allowing many casinos to operate inside Puertego's borders designed to cater to the interests of tourists with 22 such establishments existing in Puertego. However, despite the restrictions on gambling imposed by the government gambling as a past time has been deeply ingrained in Puertegan culture with men who refuse to take part in gambling often being labeled as unmasculine or cowards with a fear of any risks causing illegal gambling to be a large black-market sector in Puertego with the police force often being paid bribes to look the other way on it. Common forms of illegal gambling in Puertego include cockfights or dogfights, card rooms, and sports books with most of those run by organized crime, the large number of opportunities for gambling plus many Puertegan men feeling they need to gamble due to cultural expectations has led to widespread gambling addiction plaguing Puertego.
At 7:01 AM a nuclear warhead was detonated in the [[Varshan|Varshani]] city of Zakan Rot on the island of West Seneca. Later that day, the government of [[Varshan]] claimed responsibility, stating that the blast was "justifiable in order to prevent the Occidentals from pointing a gun at the heart of our nation".

== Trade & Foreign investment ==
Countries around the world immediately responded with condemnation of the decision by the Varshani military, with [[Ardmore]] and [[the Cape]] joining the allied cause and pledging support in humanitarian and military capacities.

===={{flag|Koré'hetanùa}}====
Stateholder Nójana Hèùriqı met with advisors and stakeholders after the nuclear detonation in Zakan Rot as to how to best address the situation. The Hèùriqı administration had previously instituted a maritime exclusion zone for all commercial maritime traffic surrounding Varshan and had met with Varshani leaders in the capital of Anzo to discuss diplomatic relations between the two states. However, as soon as evidence was released of the Varshan army detonating the nuclear warhead and killing its own civilians Koré'hetanùa immediately cut all ties with Varshan and declared war. Though previously an outspoken advocate for reducing hostilities in Varshan, Koré'hetanùa became a member state of the alliance against Varshan.

Daxia responded with a reciprocal nuclear strike against Varshan in the city of Shimmra. The nuclear strike was ordered personally by Daxian Chancellor Prib Dodd and occurred a few hours after the atomic bombing of Zakan Rot. Daxia was previously fighting [[Varshan]] in the [[Final War of the Deluge]] from its overseas dependency of Xisheng.

The Nahean Ministry of Defense announced the creation of the Nahe Expeditionary Force in response to the atomic bombing of Zakan Rot. Under the command of Marshal Isaak Schwan, volunteers from within the Nahe Armed Forces joined to later be deployed in Varshan. Additionally, the Nahe Navy announced the 3rd Fleet would join the Expeditionary Force and would be mobilized to the Seneca Straits.

Koré'hetanùa responded by having three naval task forces, Task Force Cartesia (operating out of Anta Carda), Task Force Orixtal (operating out of [[Seváronsa]]), and Task Force Coscivian Northwest (operating out of Porfiria) join into the Varshan Battle Fleet for the remainder of the Final War of the Deluge. Task Forces Cartesia and Orixtal were tasked with aiding in the naval blockade of Varshan while Task Force Coscivian Northwest was tasked with engaging Varshani aerial and naval combatants in the Seneca Isles with Urcean units.
