The Bronze Age brought about year-round cultivation and [[Wikipedia:animal husbandry|animal husbandry]] that rapidly spread along the coasts, though the colder climate in the northern reaches of Volkia slowed the change. Cultures in Volkia shared common features in their pottery and tools, but local features existed. Commercial contacts that had so far been local lupine tribes in Volkia extended to the rest of Itur and [[Yasteria]], which brought in bronze artifacts between 2100 BC and 1900 BC. Domestic manufacture of bronze artifacts started in 1700 BC with the introduction of Zalari-style bronze axes.

===Agriculture===

Most of Volkia's cultivated land is confined to the southernmost provinces of [[Akusha Oblast]], [[Vladinsk Oblast]], [[Lopatino Oblast]], [[Osinsky Oblast]], and the southern areas of Zhukovsky Oblast. For the most part Volkia's agriculture has been efficient and productive when compared to farming in neighboring countries. Agriculture in Volkia has been characterized by the northern climate and self-sufficiency in most major agricultural products. Large farms are responsible for the majority of agricultural goods produced, though small, family owned plots still play a major role in the growth of Volkian agriculture. However compared to other industries, agriculture's share of GDP has declined in recent years.
A wide variety of crops are grown in Volkia, including wheat, rye, barley, oats, potatoes, sugar beets, turnips, peas, hay, and silage. Volkian wheat, rye, and to a lesser extent potatoes are used in the production of Volkian vodkas.
Agriculture in Volkia's north is mostly restricted to animal husbandry due to the colder climate that makes it difficult to grow crops. Animals raised in northern Volkia include cattle, pigs, chickens, sheep, goats, and horses.
With a large coastline, Laiatanese fishing fleets are a major contributor to the region's fish supply. The total capture of fish was at 1,191,068 tons in 2005. Both exports and imports of fish and sea products grew significantly in the recent years, reaching correspondingly $2.1 and $1.7 millions in 2008.
Line 263:
Typically, major Laiatanese cities have well-developed systems of public transport, with the most common varieties of exploited vehicles being bus, trolleybus and tram. Most major Laiatanese cities have underground metros. The total length of metros in Laiatan is 750 miles (1,207 km). Volkgoroda Metro and Kosma Metro are the oldest in Laiatan, opened in 1925 and 1935 respectively. These two are among the fastest and busiest metro systems in the world, and are famous for rich decorations and unique designs of their stations, which is a common tradition on Laiatanese metros and railways.
