Alahuela's goal is to have Lotoa transform into a highly developed {{wp|market economy}} by 2040, which many have cited as ambitious but applaud the government's commitment to developing the islands. In keeping with it's cultural identity, Lotoa's economy does still have ties to its Polynesian neighbors. Many large corporations have invested in the archipelago and, despite how remote the island group is, some have decided to relocate their headquarters to Laaula. Large hotel chains are also a part of the development of Laaula. | Alahuela's goal is to have Lotoa transform into a highly developed {{wp|market economy}} by 2040, which many have cited as ambitious but applaud the government's commitment to developing the islands.

The transportation network of Lotoa is slowly improving, but has been mostly defined by a loosely organized system of ferries between islands and old highways between cities. There is not much of a system in place for those living in cities like Laaula, which doesn't have an form of public transit other than the ferry system. Recently, with the ProjectLotoa, Congress has allocated enough funding to the territory to vastly increase its transit measures and further integrate the city while its population remains relatively low. Chiefly, Laaula is set to complete a metrorail system and new bus network throughout its district, while Anamua County will extend a bus network around the island. | |||
Telecommunications in Lotoa have been pretty much on par with most other territories, with Lotoa actually serving as Veritas' testing ground for {{wp|5G}} {{wp|Ultra-wideband|UWB}} interconnectivity. Southern portions of Anamua, especially those around Amu Piniki and Laaula, tend to have some of the highest cellular data speeds on the planet. However still, many telecom companies have stated they would like to see more integration. Veritas in particular has signed onto ProjectLotoa and has stated that it would bring the city under its fiber optic cable and internet services. | |||
