==Economy==
The country’s economy prior to the coup was relatively strong and stable, with a large manufacturing base and productive agricultural areas as well as mineral wealth in the interior. Lumber, the primary resource when the region was first settled, continues to be a primary driver of the economy. Agriculture consists primarily of staple crops such as wheat, soybeans, and corn; sugar beets and sugar refining are also a major industry. Mineral resources in Rusanru'a include aluminum, copper, nickel, gypsum, and gravel.
In December 2021, General Fyodorovich announced a set of reforms aimed at improving economic growth. The first was a "national jobs guarantee," which was phrased in its announcement as a national guarantee for each citizen to have a job. International observers criticized the announcement as a "criminalization of joblessness" and noted that applicants to the program are not permitted to select which job they take. Instead, the military moves applicants to wherever they see a need. The second reform was the revaluation of the Rusanru'at Karusa, with 10,000 old Karusa (RRK) being worth 1 New Karusa (RRN). Along with the revaluation, the country made it illegal to possess foreign currencies like the Packilvanian Dinar, which had been widely used as an informal currency. Business owners seen to be in possession of foreign currency were liable to lose their business license and to face criminal charges. While Rusanru'at authorities hailed these reforms as having an immediate, positive impact on the economy—with many industries that had collapsed in the war resuming activity, such as mining and paper manufacturing—the reforms also drew criticism from outside observers who noted that the change allows the government to seize—and use—foreign currency from citizens and possibly enroll those found with foreign currency in the employment guarantee program unwillingly.
