Acronis: Difference between revisions

While western Tavaris was always less populated than the east and the south, and thus had less wealth in absolute terms, per capita the average wealth and income of people in the west has been similar to that of the east since unification. A powerful merchant economy grew in the major cities of the west, while agriculture remained the overwhelming majority of economic activity in the western interior. Sugarcane and rum production expanded, especially for export, and gradually crops from foreign regions of the world, primarily millet and rice, were introduced. Ancient volcanism enriched the soil of central Avnatra, particularly on and near the plateau, allowing for the cultivation of all kinds of crops that, in turn, enriched the economies of the port cities when they were sold in trade. In the year 1604, a census determined that Enaro Ttatražakai had surpassed NandratNuvrenon to become the second-largest city in the country after NuvrenonNandrat.
