''The official currency of Puertego is the Puertegan Damillo, the Damillo is the second longest lasting currency in Puertego having been in use for 26 years. The Damillo currency suffers from an inflation rate of 20% though the government has been making strides to attempt to reduce inflation over the years. The Damillo is split into denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, 250, 500, and 1,000 which are all issued by the Puertegan Central Bank.'' | ''The official currency of Puertego is the Puertegan Damillo, the Damillo is the second longest lasting currency in Puertego having been in use for 26 years.

''Puertego offers free healthcare to all its citizens though the quality is notoriously poor with overcrowding meaning that often times patients have to share beds, unsanitary conditions, and long wait times, there is also a lot of corruption in the government run healthcare with embezzlement being commonplace in the nation's hospitals and many patients reporting doctors demanding bribes to write perscriptions for them. However there have been attempts by the government to increase the quality by cracking down on corruption in the industry with much heavier monitoring of staff and administrators, additionally the government has begun building clinics in rural communities with no access to regular hospitals and also provides free clean water and free vaccinations to all citizens with the latter being attributed to a large reason for the country almost eradicating certain diseases like Polio.'' | ''Puertego offers free healthcare to all its citizens though the quality is notoriously poor with overcrowding meaning that often times patients have to share beds, unsanitary conditions, and long wait times, there is also a lot of corruption in the government run healthcare with embezzlement being commonplace in the nation's hospitals and many patients reporting doctors demanding bribes to write perscriptions for them.

The government spends around 11% of its annual budget on its healthcare system,'' | ||

''Puertegan workers are forbidden to unionize by law in any state or privately-owned company, the Puertegan government has a long history of violently putting down any attempt by their workers to unionize and or strike, things such as workers co-op's are also explicitly banned by law. Puertego has very few laws regarding labor particularly in regard to workplace safety standards and minimum wage though this has also made Puertegan workers famously cheap which is another reason many companies are outsourcing production to there.'' | ''Puertegan workers are forbidden to unionize by law in any state or privately-owned company, the Puertegan government has a long history of violently putting down any attempt by their workers to unionize and or strike, things such as workers co-op's are also explicitly banned by law.

'' | ''In Puertego the government maintains a national highway system running to major cities and a few of the larger towns though most of rural Puertego has to rely on dirt roads, maintenance of the road system has always been rather patchy due to embezzlement by officials meaning that the road system is often peppered with potholes. The government provides free public transport in cities with its bus routes going through them, a large reason for this is the large cost of owning a car due to almost all of them having to be imported from other countries and there being a rather limited supply. The government spends around 5% of its annual budget on transportation and maintenance of roads.'' | ||
