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.

As a major military power, the Kiravian Federacy openly possesses {{wp|CBRN|nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons}} and weapon delivery systems, and continues to actively conduct research and development in all three weapons classes. Deployment of the latter two classes in warfare is illegal under the [[Code of the League of Nations]] 3.2.2, though the Kiravian government maintains that its continued research activities are for the purpose of defence against an aggressor's chemical and biological weapons and complies with international law. Kiravian governments past and present have been highly opaque about the details of their WMD programmes, and official information released on the topic is widely regarded as unreliable.
=== 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.


==Nuclear Weapons==
=== Manufacturing ===
The Federacy currently claims to possess 2,420 nuclear warheads, with between 1,000 and 1,200 active at any given time. While it is generally agreed that the Kiravian nuclear arsenal is larger than disclosed, estimates as to how much the actual count differs from the official one range from as low as 300 to as high as 2,000.


The Federacy is able to deploy these warheads through the nuclear triad of {{wp|long-range strategic bombers}}, {{wp|intercontinental ballistic missiles}}, and {{wp|submarine-launched ballistic missiles}}, giving it a credible {{wp|second-strike capability}}.
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.


===Nuclear Programme History===
=== Construction ===
Two nuclear programmes proceeded in parallel in the [[Kiravian Union]] (from 21116) and the rump [[Kiravian Federal Republic]] (from 21124), as part of a broader worldwide process of nuclear proliferation. The Kiravian Union's programme was undertaken to provide a deterrent against invasion by capitalist powers, while the KFR programme had dual goals of deterring against a hypothetical amphibious invasion of KFR-held [[Æonara]], [[Atrassica]], or [[Porfíria]] by the Kiravian Union, as well as aiding in {{wp|Project National Glory}}. Given these priorities, both programmes focused on the development of strategic weapons, though the KFR worked with [foreign country] to amass a small arsenal of {{wp|tactical nuclear weapons}} for the purpose of defending Kiravian [[Cusinaut]] from aggression by surrounding native Cronite states.


Both governments conducted most of their nuclear tests at sea, though the Kiravian Union had surface test sites in the Miradèt Desert and extreme northern [[Koskenkorva]]. The KFR used underground facilities in the mountains of [[Umcara|Umcara State]] and the Saxalin Islands for much of its research and at least five final-stage tests.
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.


===Nuclear Doctrine===
=== Energy & Other Utilities ===
Kiravian nuclear doctrine has always been reactive and focused on self-preservation. Prime Executive [[Kexarin Rénkédar]], under whose tenure the Federacy solidified its second-strike capability, grimly described the effort as “[O]ur hypothetical last stand. It exists to ensure that if Kiravia and the enemy devastate each other beyond recognition in a nuclear holocaust, there will be a handful of Kiravians left standing and zero enemy nationals.” His successor, Irasur Mérovin, echoed this sentiment, saying “Nuclear issues are existential issues. By obtaining nuclear arms, we have definitively secured our island continent against invasion. If we ever deploy them, it will be because we have no alternative, but make no mistake, if we discharge nuclear arms in combat, it will be, and must be, to annihilate the enemy.”


Under most circumstances, a nuclear strike requires the authorisation of the [[Prime Executive of the Kiravian Federacy|Prime Executive]]. However, certain nuclear missiles, such as those deployed on nuclear submarines, may be deployed on orders given from further down the chain of command. This is to enable the Federacy to carry out a second strike on the enemy following an initial nuclear exchange, during which the Prime Executive (and others in the order of succession) would likely be killed and the Federacy’s command-and-control infrastructure damaged.
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 [[Prime Executive]], [[Second Executive of the Kiravian Federacy|Second Executive]], Chief Defence Executive, Supreme General, Field General of the Strategic Missile Command, and [[Emergency Backup Executive]] are all accompanied by nuclear briefcases (Kiravic: ''Atomovilemuvya'') when away from fixed command-and-control centres. According to a response to a press inquiry permitted by Prime Executive Rénkédar, the Prime Executive’s nuclear briefcase contains a booklet detailing the Federacy’s nuclear strike options and guidance on how to select one, a booklet describing continuity-of-government procedures and the locations of secure bunkers, a sealed envelope containing launch codes printed on a plastic card, unsigned letters delegating national command authority to others, instructions for activating emergency warning systems, a satellite phone, backup radio uplink, pens, a blank notepad, iodine pills, and a pair of sunglasses. According to former Chancellor [[Sārden Ēvūrverd]], [[Ivardus Kólsylvar|Prime Executive Kólsylvar]] once privately told him that the briefcase also contained a bottle of whiskey, two shot glasses, a pack of cigarettes and magnesium lighter, a watch, and a pack of pine-flavoured chewing gum. This report remains unconfirmed.
=== Banking & Finance ===


==Chemical Weapons==
The Kiravian Federacy maintains large stockpiles of chemical weapons and active chemical weapons research, manufacturing, and training programmes.


Kiravian forces deployed chlorine, phosgene, and mustard gas against enemy troops in [X War 21090s] and [Y War 21120s], and made limited use of nerve and blood agents in the Great Oceanic War. White phosphorous munitions were employed on numerous occasions for both incendiary and chemical effects between the 21100s and 21150s. The mainland Kiravian chemical weapons programme remained quite active between 21113 and 21153. Evidence has surfaced that the Kirosocialist government may have developed mechanisms for using a number of unusual (and extremely dangerous) compounds such as {{wp|dimethylmercury}}, {{wp|cyclopentadienyl nickel nitrosyl}}, {{wp|methiocarb}}, {{wp|dioxin}}, {{wp|lysergic acid diethylamide}}, and various heavy metals and biotic toxins as weapons. Recent investigations have raised some suspicion that the Kirosocialist government may have undertaken some of this research with the aim of fielding chemical weapons against Kiravian civilians in the event of an uprising or civil war.


[[File:"Information Satellite Systems Reshetnev" new building.jpg|thumb|Míhanska Head Defence Laboratory, a known chemical weapons facility in [[Hanoram]].]]
=== Gambling ===


Chemical weapons research continued after Kirosocialism, with an emphasis on delivery methods and a focus on nerve, blood, and psychoactive agents. The manufacture of lethal compounds, however, was scaled back significantly, most likely due to the size of the stockpile already accumulated.  
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.


===Chemical Weapons Doctrine===
== Trade & Foreign investment ==
The standing Kiravian policy towards its chemical arsenal is to reserve it for defencive use. According to a 21205 Defence Executive memorandum: “The principal application envisioned for the Kiravian chemical arsenal is to deter against and, if necessary, decisively repel a ground invasion of the Home Islands, Æonara, Sydona, or another colonised landmass of commensurate size and strategic value.” According to the memorandum, chemical weapons fill potential “gaps” in the efficacy of a nuclear deterrent against a ground invasion engendered by the risk of mutually-assured destruction and other factors that might make civilian leadership hesitant to deploy nuclear weapons and therefore raise the probability of Kiravian {{wp|commitment issues}} in the enemy’s calculations. Put more simply, whereas nuclear weapons carry the risk of inviting rapid retaliation in kind with massive, possibly existential consequences for the user if deployed, and therefore give the enemy reason to doubt Kiravian willingness to use them defencively, chemical weapons do not carry the same risks. Because they can be used as a tactical rather than strategic weapon, killing enemy troops in large numbers while causing significant psychological damage, chemical weapons can significantly reduce an invading power’s capacity and willingness to fight without precipitating a catastrophic nuclear exchange.
=== Foreign Trade ===


According to Prime Executive Andrus Candrin, “The Federacy has the capability to wage offencive chemical warfare if necessary, but we have determined that doing so would be both dangerous and militarily not worthwhile. The vast majority of our chemical arsenal is in long-term storage at a very low level of readiness. It would take some time to mobilise if ordered. I can say with confidence that only a handful of chemical weapons, if any, are ready for immediate deployment at any given time.” Independent observers and foreign intelligence agencies have disputed the veracity of this statement.
=== Free Trade ===


Authorisation from the Prime Executive is required for the initial retaliatory use of chemical weapons, after which the military chain of command may discharge them as necessary. A great deal of secrecy continues to surround the Kiravian chemical weapons programme, and doubts have been raised as to the accuracy of government-published information on the topic.

The Kiravian Federacy acknowledges that it possesses weaponised biological agents and the means of deploying them, and that it maintains ongoing research into biological warfare. Beyond this, negligible information about the Kiravian biological weapons programme has been disclosed by government sources, and spokesmen for the Defence and Security Executives have categorically refused to comment as to what agents the Federacy possesses or is researching, where research is taking place, and how or against whom such weapons might be used, except for assurances that any deployment would be in self-defence. Most available information has come from sporadic leaks.


Classified [[Kiravian Defence Executive|Defence Executive]] documents released by the {{wp|hacktivist}} website [[AkbarLeaks]] in 21204 show that the Kiravian Army Medical Corps' Research & Development Wing has conducted experiments studying {{wp|lassa fever}}, {{wp|hantaviruses}}, {{wp|diphtheria}}, {{wp|tularaemia}}, {{wp|Coccidioides immitis}}, and a mysterious agent called "(Bola Remix)" (parentheses in original), believed to be a modified strain of {{wp|ebola}}. The official {{wp|zine}} of the [[Minor Kiravian Political Parties#Civilian Ecological Party|Civilian Ecological Party]] published an article alleging that the Defence Executive is developing {{wp|entomological warfare}} capabilities, and has conducted field tests on at least two occasions since the end of Kirosocialism at sites in [[South Kirav]].
=== Labor Export ===


A number of unverified sources have claimed that the Federacy is investigating or may even possess prototypes of “ethnospecific” bioweapons effective only against specific populations, while others have speculated that Kiravian bioweapons research is more likely focused on agricultural targets.

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 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.
