Ventarya has transitioned from a historically agrarian economy to one heavily invested in high-tech industry and services. While the cultivation of kalir, tobacco, and various industrial crops and the raising of hogs remain important sectors of the state's economy, they directly employ far fewer Ventaryans today than in the past. | Ventarya has transitioned from a historically agrarian economy to a modern and diversified one heavily invested in high-tech industry and services, transportation, and the defence industry. While the cultivation of kalir, tobacco, and various industrial crops and the raising of hogs remain important sectors of the state's economy and account for a large share of land use in the state, they directly employ far fewer Ventaryans today than in the past. As a legacy of the past, many corporations concerned with the processing and trade of products made from these crops remain headquartered in Central Ventarya and Shafton Roads. | ||
Though located far from Kiravia's major high-tech corridors on the West Coast and the outer Valēka metropolitan area, a small but growing technology sector has taken root in Ventarya, drawing on human capital and investment generated by the state's universities and by federally-supported engineering and research initiatives near Kartika and various military bases. | Though located far from Kiravia's major high-tech corridors on the West Coast and the outer Valēka metropolitan area, a small but growing technology sector has taken root in Ventarya, drawing on human capital and investment generated by the state's prestigious {{wp|research universities}} and by federally-supported engineering and research initiatives near Kartika and various military bases. | ||
The {{wp|defence industry}} and the [[Kiravian Forces]] are major contributors to the Ventaryan economy. Many large defence contractors are headquartered or have offices located in the Ventaryan portion of the Kartika Metropolitan area. Leading Kiravian weapons manufacturer [[Tredagon Arms Foundry]] is based in the town of Tredagon on the Barrima River and operates facilities in Shafton Roads. The Shafton Roads area is home to Shafton Naval Harbour, the Kiravian Navy's largest base and main centre of operations in Great Kirav, as well as several smaller dockyards and other installations. There are twelve military reservations in Ventarya, including Fort Bódran (operational headquarters of the Kiravian Army Marine Corps), and Fort Rilvitren (home to the Kiravian Army Rangers). | The {{wp|defence industry}} and the [[Kiravian Forces]] are major contributors to the Ventaryan economy.
