Some of the largest companies in the world originate from Packilvania including the following: [[Export-Import Bank of Packilvania]], [[Packilvanian Steel and Construction Corporation]], [[Packilvanian Agricultural Bank]], [[Packilvanian Development Bank]], [[Packilvanian Industrial and Commercial Bank]] and [[Packilvanian Coal and Gas Corporation]].
 
===Infrastructure and energy===
Infrastructure in Packilvania is administered largely by the [[Administrative divisions of Packilvania|provincial and local governments]] under the national government via the Ministers of Housing and Urban Development, Mining and Energy, and Transport in the [[Council of Ministers of Packilvania]]. When the [[Bedonite dynasty]] took over from the [[Packilvanian Communist Party]] they continued and amplified the reliance on infrastructure and real estate expenditure to encourage economic growth.
Packilvania has one of the top ten largest rail, road, and optic fibre networks in the world (despite the fact that it does not reach most if its population). The total length of the roads on Pakilvania is 520,340 km. The country has an extensive highway system of 110,230 km that connects the largest urban areas and most developed population centres. Unfortunately rural areas especially in the arid regions, are left behind, relying on small poorly maintained single lane roads and gravel roads. The most advanced and largest cities have underground rail and provide punctual and highly affordable train services to their citizens. These services even include some of the fastest bullet trains in the world. The country is exploring magnetic levitation technology to create even faster trains. Unfortunately the remote arid regions are rarely accessible by rail, with most of the rail network consisting of freight transport to and from major mines.
 
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 nation also benefits from the longest and one of the deepest navigable rivers in the world: the mighty Ufrata, which is so long, it is very difficult to measure. It provides transportation for ships to the inland. The nation also relies on several other rivers such as Tigris, Pishon and Gihon rivers for inland transport. There are canals which connect some major cities, but canals have larger fallen out of use and they are being integrated with water supply systems. The country has over 230,450 km of aqueducts and pipes. People in the east enjoy access to over 50 deep natural lakes. The great rivers have also been dammed and provide water to the many other regions of the nation. The desert regions rely on rain water and even more on aquafirs for their water needs. Unfortunately these resources are not infinite and overuse has led to declining access to water especially for industrial activity.
 
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 Bingol International Airport is the largest airport in the country, receiving over 2 million passengers daily. The Port of Bingol is the largest and busiest port in the country and arguably one of the largest ports in the world. Over 10 million tonnes of goods move through its docks. Moreover, there are many other ports and airports in the country which connect its vast regions. The country's flag carrier and largest airline is Pax Air. It has been flying for over 6 decades and has links to every region in the world. It uses Bingol International Airport as its hub. With Bingol International Airport sitting at close to major world regions, it is becoming an increasingly important nexus for connect different regions of 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]].
