Packilvania: Difference between revisions

The country has produced some of the largest companies in the world. This is usually because industries are highly consolidated under a oligopology. The largest four banks in the country are the [[Industrial and Commercial Bank of Packilvania]] (the largest bank in the world by total assets under management), [[Agricultural Bank of Packilvania]], the [[Export-Import Bank of Packilvania]] and the [[Packilvanian Development Bank]]. The country is also home to arguably the largest energy company in the world, the [[Packilvanian Coal and Gas Corporation]], and one of the largest engineering firms in the world, the [[Packilvanian Steel and Construction Corporation]]. Other than these predominantly state-owned entities, there are large private companies such as [[Chatter]] (one of the largest mobile communications companies), [[Buddy]] (one of the largest taxi hailing and food delivery applications), and [[Debby]] (one of the largest mobile payment companies).

The country's largest sources of imports and exports are the [[United Nations of the Auroran Continent]] (especially [[Great Morstaybishlia]]), [[League of Novaris]], [[Union of Commonwealth Alliances]], [[Peregrinia]], [[Vekaiyu]] and [[Volkia]]. Packilvania imports a lot of manufactured goods from foreign nations especially high-end luxury goods, foodstuffs, automobiles, aircraft, semi-conductors and scientific equipment, refrigeration equipment, chemicals and medical equipment. The country maintains trade agreements such as the [[Commercial Cooperation Partnership]] with the League of Novaris.

The country maintains trade agreements such as the [[Commercial Cooperation Partnership]] with the League of Novaris and the [[Pax-UCA Trade Partnership]] with some members of the Union of Commonwealth Alliances.

The country has maintained a substantial trade surplus over the past 30 years compared to its trade partners as such it has raised over 2 trillion KRB of [[W:Foreign exchange reserves|foreign exchange and gold reserves]]. Coupled with [[W:Managed float exchange rate|control over the exchange rate]] of the national legal tender, [[Packilvanian dinar]], and control of capital movement, Packilvania has achieved monetary independence. The government struggles with tax collection and relies on substantial borrowing as such the country has over 7 trillion KRB in public debt and over 5 trillion KRB in private debt, over 80% of which is owed to domestic lenders. The country attracts 500 billion KRB of foreign direct investment annually and it in turn invests over 400 billion KRB abroad.

This spending has been a crucial driver of the high rate of economic growth that the country has seen in the past 30 or so years. Unfortunately, most of that spending has been fuelled by heavy debt, and projects are often directed by political interests and susceptible to corruption. Nevertheless, by adopting and scaling prefabrication and leveraging their skilled low cost labour, the country has experienced arguably the largest construction boom in the history of [[Urth]].

The country has approximately 1.5 million km of roads, of which approximately 890,000 are paved and 340,000 ~~consists~~ of highways. Road infrastructure is heavily concentrated in urban areas and is often the primary means of transport for mid-distance travel for low-income citizens and for trucked goods. The country has over 100,000 km of rail networks, of which 70,000 km are electrified and 25,000 km consists of high-speed rail with a magnetic levitation line connecting [[Bingol]] and [[Kemer]] (one of the longest in the world).

The country has over 500 civilian airports serving over 40 airlines. The largest airport is the Sultan [[Amhoud I]] International Airport in Bingol which handles 30 million passengers followed by the Sultan [[Amhoud II]] International Airport in Kemer. The largest container port is the Port of Bingol which handles over 200 million metric tonnes of cargo annually. The country benefits from large navigable waterways specifically the Ufrata, Meked and Jumhur Rivers on whose banks many cities and inland ports have been built.

The country's energy comes from coal (40%), natural gas (30%), hydroelectric power (20%) and 10% from a mixture of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. The country is arguably the largest producer of natural gas, coal and petroleum in the world. It is almost entirely energy independent and sells electricity to surrounding nations such as [[Drakkengard]]. Coupled with government subsidies of electricity costs, cost of electricity is extremely low. Nevertheless, the country is attempting to reduce its reliance on coal and eventually natural gas and petroleum to meet its carbon emissions targets as set by the [[International Forum]] in a resolution proposed by [[Prince Faijil]]. A lot of the coal and gas resources in the country are controlled by the [[Packilvanian Coal and Gas Corporation]], arguably the largest energy company in the world followed by [[Embask]].

The Department of Defence (which oversees and administers the [[Packilvanian Armed Forces]]) has often been a driver of scientific research for military applications which have often fed into industrial and commercial applications. [[Universities in Packilvania]] produce highly skilled scientists and engineers. The country has been a leading source of scientific and industrial research and development despite being a developing country. Nevertheless, there are areas in which Packilvania lags behind larger and more developed economies such as [[Great Morstaybishlia]] and [[South Hills]]. Despite having the third largest nominal expenditure on research and development, per capita expenditure is only slightly above average.

The Space Agency of Packilvania (''luAjhensia aluHiva aBakhilfaniya'') is responsible for overseeing the terrestrial and extraterrestrial telescope infrastructure of the country. Packilvania is one of the few countries capable of launching vehicles into space and often leases its space ports in [[Antimovo & Samokov]] to foreign nations. Furthermore, the country has contributed to international space research programs. The Atomic Research Agency of Packilvania (''luAjhensia aluBahath aleDharat aBakhilfaniya'') is the government agency in charge of civilian nuclear research and some of its programs include maintaining one of the largest particle colliders in the world, the ~~Sultan~~ [[Namdun III]] Particle Accelerator. The country is also home to some of the most powerful supercomputers in the world and it has made quantum computing, simulation and measurement, priorities for its forthcoming five-year plans.

Packilvania has also extensively contributed to research and development in biology. This includes the development of pesticides, herbicides, fertilisers and irrigation techniques, genetically modified crops, vaccines, and cancer research. The Fidal Prize for Mathematics awards the most accomplished mathematicians with special attention paid to people who can solve the so called [[w:Millennium problems|Millennium Problems]]. The Shameel Prize in Chemistry, Engineering and Computer Sciences is also a highly prestigious prize for the recognition of scientific achievements.
