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 since only 20% of roads in Puertego are paved, 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 2% of its annual budget on transportation and maintenance of roads. Puertego currently operates 62 airports including 4 international airports with an additional 6 international airports being planned to be built by the state-owned company, in addition to airports the country has 10 functioning sea ports with an additional 3 under construction. | 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 since only 20% of roads in Puertego are paved, 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.

Almost all of the energy in Puertego is provided by non-renewable sources with the nation being a large importer of oil, natural gas, and coal as well as a large extractor of these resources in its own borders, though it has been attempting to transition to more green methods of energy production with three nuclear power plants currently under construction in the country and expected to be fully operational in the next 3-4 years along with new hydro power being introduced for the first time in Puertego's history. Close to all the nation's electricity is provided by the state-owned utility company which provides electricity to the nation's citizens. The government has been trying to provide more of its citizens with electricity by building new infrastructure for it, but this has proven difficult for the government due to the large amount of shanty towns in Puertego's cities with it being estimated that as many as 54% of Puertegans live in a slum, currently only around 45% of Puertegan citizens have access to electricity in their home. | Almost all of the energy in Puertego is provided by non-renewable sources with the nation being a large importer of oil, natural gas, and coal as well as a large extractor of these resources in its own borders, though it has been attempting to transition to more green methods of energy production with three nuclear power plants currently under construction in the country and expected to be fully operational in the next 3-4 years along with new hydro power being introduced for the first time in Puertego's history.
