Federation of Bana: Difference between revisions

The area of land the Tavari had established control over was relatively small, especially compared to the holdings of the Banian humans to their immediate north, and the Tavari established very early on that they would need to grow in economic strength in order to be able to survive. In contrast to the Acronians whose religion taught careful stewardship of the environment, the Tavari quickly began cutting down the forests not only to sell the wood but also to build ships to trade with other countries, especially the growing [[Asendavia|Asendavian]] presence in the region. Later, trade relationships were established with [[Salovia]] as well. With the dawn of the Industrial Revolution and capitalist economies, Tavaris very quickly established an economy of heavy manufacturing. Additionally, Tavaris established the first financial market in the region, and the Tavari Stock Exchange continues to the present day.

 

 

Tavaris is the smallest state in the Union, at 64,918 square kilometers in area, but it has the most powerful economy and is generally considered to be the leading political force in the Union. Modern Tavaris remains an economic power in the region, with strong manufacturing and financial sectors. It is also the most densely populated state in the Union, with 10,413,625 people as of the 2019 census - less than 500,000 fewer people than Bana, which is several times larger in area. It is significantly more urbanized than the other states, although Good Harbor and Nuvrenon remain the major population centers. Tavaris has long depended on agricultural imports from Bana, New Rania, and other countries for its food supply.
