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.

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. Feirmthoir also produces beef and dairy from the raising of cattle. The highland province of Pritfear also features the raising of the distinct highland cow.

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.

Mining

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.

Infrastructure

Dau Sel features international airports within the capital of Príombar as well as in Hovedby, Glarí, and Cranísa. These feature flights across Nori as well as to select destinations within Lira, Storsnia, Nezlotah, and Xotla. Many of these routes are serviced by Aer Dæsala (Dau Sel Air).

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

The name for the weapon model is usually the make followed by the year it was designed (ex: the RU-93 is a Raidhfil Uathoibríoch model designed in 1993).
