Tierrador usually also does business with overseas powers such as [[Kiravia]], [[Urcea]], [[Cartadania]], [[Burgundie]], and [[Pelaxia]]. Tierrador exports and imports the most goods and services to and from these nations, along with most other world nations to a lesser degree. Tourism and mass media are two emerging industries in the Tierradorian Republic that have greatly benefitted the nation. [[Taisgol]], [[Qabór]], [[Prisamarina]], and [[Arroyo Rato]] are a few of the most visited cities in South Crona, attracting a combined total of 51 million tourists on a yearly basis. The [[Sonaxa]] and [[La Plazal]] island regions have also gained popularity in terms of tourism in Tierrador, attracting more than 16 million tourists from [[Levantia]], [[Audonia]] and [[Sarpedon]]. Because of the tourism rate in Tierrador and the presence of people from other cultures, it has prompted 91% of Tierradorian citizens in the 18-26 age range to learn languages other than Tierradorian and Spanish, leading to 61% of Tierradorians being able to speak 3 languages or more. Mass media in Tierrador reached the global spotlight in 1995, when Orixtal Communications, the largest telecommunications provider in South Crona, expanded its operations outside of the Cronan continent, opening operations in [[Kiravia]], [[Urcea]], [[Cartadania]] and [[Pelaxia]]. Soon after, [[H2O Communications]] began operations outside of Tierrador, leading to a very strong Tierradorian presence in the world of media. It is also one of the largest employers in Tierrador, with close to 2 million jobs created as of 2028. | ||

Healthcare in Tierrador follows a fully devolved system, and each region has its own system of private and publicly funded healthcare. Public healthcare is provided to all Tierradorian permanent residents and is mostly free at the point of need, being paid for from general taxation. The regulatory agency for healthcare in Tierrador is the Tierrador Health Service (THS), and the THS has various divisions based on the 20 regions. Since 1979 expenditure on healthcare has been increased significantly. The 2018 data, which incorporates in health a chunk of what in Tierrador is classified as social care, has the nation spending ₽3,460 per head. In 2017 the nation spent ₽2,870 per person on healthcare. Despite all Tierradorians being able to opt out of coverage from the THS in favor of the much more expensive private health sector, citizens are still required to pay 8% of their annual income to the THS. This is done as a means to dissuade Tierradorians from using privatized healthcare, as government officials and majority public opinion view it as "unethical," despite it being proven to be more efficient in getting the care that Tierradorians need. | Healthcare in Tierrador follows a fully devolved system, and each region has its own system of private and publicly funded healthcare.
