The Korpiceian economy is based in two sectors: trading and agriculture, as it has for most of the country's history. Another historical sector would be banking which, while it may not be as mighty as it used to be centuries ago, it is making a resurgence in the last decade, as the country tries to rebuild its economic power, regain stability and become one of the powerhouses in the region.
 
Korpiceia as a country has existed ever since the 14th century, as a colony of some Paldic nation, whose location is presumed to be in eastern [[Novaris]].
 
== Geography ==
Korpiceia is a small country with an area of about 46 thousand square kilometers (or 18 thousand square miles). It is fairly thin and the land mostly consists of plains and valleys. Its altitude is relatively low, but always above sea level. On the eastern parts of the country, there are higher altitudes and the terrain becomes hilly and in parts mountainous, but still realtivelyrelatively low compared to other nations.
 
Korpiceia's riverrivers are shallow, mostly short but have very big currents. The largest river is the River Amphrysos, which flows from the northeast, into the capital of Kamareia and finishes in the cape to the southeast.
 
The highest point in Korpiceia would be Mount Ouros (even though its status as one is disputed among geologists), which is found in the south of the country, about 50 kilometers east of the city of Molyndos. Its elevation is 1858,72 km. or 6.098,2 ft.

=== Resources ===
32% of Korpiceian land is arable, with much of the crops produced being exported, since the national needs are easily covered, making food imports to Korpiceia very minimal. This percentage has been a huge change, as only in 2020 the percentage of arable land was determined to be closer to 20%. This massive turn towards agriculture has been favored by the Initiative and popularized by the 2021 elected [[Alexios Pyrros]]. In the same way, stock farming has been very popularised, especially in the south of the country, since 2022. The production of meat/poultry, eggs and dairy products has upsized a substantial 122% and a trend of producing traditional products, such as "Almyrotyro" and many others, is becominggrowing more and more popular within Korpiceian consumers.
 
Fish and sea products have always been one of the greatestbiggest industries in Korpiceia, and one where the people are very highly skilled. Yearly, 157,2 tonnes of fish are farmed or fished in the country's seas.
 
The Korpiceian south is rich in many metals and minerals such as [[wikipedia: Iron|iron]], [[wikipedia: Gold|gold]], [[wikipedia: Lithium|lithium]], [[wikipedia: Manganese|manganese]], but [[wikipedia: Lead|lead]] can be found in abundance, hence the city of Molyndos having its name (lead is "molyvdos"/"μόλυβδος" in Paldic but also "μόλυντος" means dirty). Mining has also grown since 2020, though there have been many unfavourable reactions, especially regarding lead mining deeming the mining operations as unecological and harmful for stock and crops.
