Economy

Major industries

Speke's major industries include healthcare, technology, science, and aeronautics. The country is a major provider of medicine and equipment for healthcare professionals and systems around Anteria, especially on the continent of Thuadia. It is also home to a large private space company, SpekeX, which specialized in space launches and scientific research, including the development of the Orbitlink satellite internet system, which provides improved internet speeds and access across Anteria. In addition, Speke is a leading researcher in renewable energy, with many companies specializing in this field.

Trade partners

Speke engages in significant trade with nations within the Sekidean Union, particularly with the country of Torvon. Torvon plays a major role in the Spekean automobile industry, with the Torvonese company Departure acquiring the Spekean car manufacturer Bliat in 2022 after it faced financial difficulties. Departure retained the original name of the company, and Bliat continues to be a significant player in the Spekean automobile market. In addition, Speke also trades with Torvon for its cargo sea vessels.

Economic challenges or successes

In the 2000s, the country suffered from widespread corruption, which had a negative impact on the economy and the well-being of the people. This corruption resulted in a lack of investment in important areas such as employment and education, and it also led to a loss of trust in the government and political system. In response to these challenges, the government has implemented a number of anti-corruption initiatives since the late 2000s, including measures to increase transparency and accountability among politicians.
