Economy of Dau Sel

The economy of Dau Sel is a mix of command and market, depending on the industry. Industries which the government deems vital to the nation are directly controlled and function under a command structure. Industries that do not have this designation are allowed to run independent of the government under a market socialist system where individual businesses have ownership shared amongst the workers and compete with other businesses in an open market. Some notable sectors within the Dau Selan economy include mineral extraction, energy, and agriculture. Dau Sel produce bauxite, iron, titanium, and sulfur mostly from mines located within the province of Pritfear leading to mining being one of the top occupations of the region.

When broken down by sector the economy is Primary 41%, Secondary 35%, Tertiary 24%.

Businesses are classified as Grúpa Táirgeachta Stáit (GTS) if they are state-run or Grúpa Táirgeachta Comhoibritheach (GTC) if they are run independently of the government. The sectors of agriculture and fishery, energy, mining, infrastructure, and some heavy manufacturing are predominantly GTSs with remaining industries being mostly GTCs.

Dau Sel has used the dolal as its currency since 1895. The dolal is a fiat currency

Agriculture and Fishery

Dau Sel's agricultural sector is strongest in Feirmthoir and Leithis where the growing of wheat and potatoes employs more citizens than any other sector.

Fishing is a major industry among much of Dau Sel's eastern coast, particularly within the island province of Heimströnd.

Energy

Dau Sel produces oil, natural gas, and coal. These resources exist largely within the province of Pojonen Kotima, in the far north of Dau Sel. This abundance of resources has allowed Dau Sel to sell off its surplus energy as well as export a significant amount of crude oil into the world economy.

Dau Sel is the #1 exporter of oil and the #1 exporter of energy globally.

MacClellan Weapon Manufacturing focusses on designing and producing weapons for the common man and woman. While they do design some guns that are more advanced, the average MacClellan gun is very simplistic. The main attraction for MacClellan is the reliability of their products.

• Raidhfil Uathoibríoch (RU)
• Arm Cosanta Pearsanta (ACP)
• Raidhfil Pearsanta (RP)

Innealra Talmhaíochta na Dæsala (Dau Selan Agricultural Machinery)

Innealra Talmhaíochta na Dæsala (Dau Selan Agricultural Machinery), a state run company that had been founded in the early years of the PRDS to produce agricultural equipment for the ever expanding number of farms, began utilizing the newly discovered oil reserves shortly after their discovery. By the early 1920s ITD had produced a line of motorized threshers, tractors, and reapers. In 1926 ITD released the first of their work vehicles, the Iompróir-26. In 1932 the motor vehicle department of ITD was split off as Mótarfheithiclí na Dæsala (Dau Selan Motor Vehicles).

In 1932 the motor vehicle department of ITD was split off as Mótarfheithiclí na Dæsala (Dau Selan Motor Vehicles). MD was primarily tasked with creating work vehicles, military transport vehicles, and busses until 1952 when they released the first Feithicil Úsáide Poiblí the FÚP-52. The FÚP-52 was designed as a cheap, reliable vehicle for citizens of Dau Sel. As this was the first car that most Dau Selans would have access to it sold quite well, however, it's bland style, lack of features, and loud diesel engine made it very unpopular internationally. The FÚP-52 was designed to be easy to repair, which was convenient as they were known to frequently require maintenance.

Determined to make a vehicle that delivered where the FÚP fell short, MD released the Laddie in 1969.
