Economy
Lavaria is the second largest economy in Cardia, and the fifth largest economy in Gaia by nominal GDP ($1,2 trillion). After the dissolution of Cornicae, Lavaria rose as an independent country shrank in unemployment. By 1943, the unemployment rate was up to 17,4%. The Parliamentary Republic that followed the formation of the Lavish state sought to statesize most of the nation's resources. Important companies like COPEXN (Compania de Petróleo e Extração Natural), Bank of Lavaria (Banco da Lavária), CANAMA (Compania Nacional de Aço e Metalúrgica), and FAUP (Fábrica Automotiva Popular), were government based companies until 1948. The rather socialist government of Lavaria from 1943 to 1945 was able to lower the unemployment rates by almost 6%, though the extreme protectionist policies on exports and imports kept the country's economy from thriving. When the monarchy resurged and the parliament was remodeld, the concept of an open market economy was brought in, and most of the previous state owned companies were privitized. In 1966, Lavaria changed its currency from the Ouro to the Lírio (LL$). The currency change elevated the country's economy, leading to a GDP increase of 10,3% between the years of 1968 and 1973.
