Economy
New Antonesia is an advanced high-income market economy, with a nominal GDP of $630 billion and a PPP GDP of $599 billion and per capita GDPs of $49,576 and $47,151 respectively. It is a highly diversified economy whose participants work predominantly in the service sector (80.4%). The country also maintains a sizable natural resource industry, including the extraction of crude oil and natural gas in its large exclusive economic zone in the Demontean Ocean. It ranks highly in economic freedom and ease of business indexes and was considered one of the world's best locations for startup businesses by Rythenean economic and professional service broker Bennett & Miller in 2018. The currency of New Antonesia is the mark, which floats freely internationally after it was severed from a fixed exchange rate with the Tyrnican mark in the 1960s. Typically, New Antonesia has also been characterised by high levels of median wealth and relatively low rates of unemployment and poverty.
The makeup of the New Antonesian economy changed rapidly throughout the latter half of the 20th century, moving away from agriculture and quickly towards a service-based economy. Economic growth peaked after the Second Great War and in the 1970s, coinciding with wartime recuperation and the discovery of oil deposits east of the country. As well as this, high amounts of immigration, particularly from Isuan, has also considerably shaped the economy.
The country's capital, Isigau, is ranked highly both as a financial city and its quality of life. Tyrnican newspaper Königpfalz Herald ranked Isigau as the world's 7th-best city in the world, taking into account factors such as quality of life, average income, poverty, wealth inequality as well as infrastructure and global connections. Umeployment in the country was 5.9% in 2016, up from 5.5% in 2010, and inflation has been relatively stable since the 1990s. New Antonesia's major trade partners include the Commonwealth of Northern Auressia (specifically Blayk, Rythene and Tyrnica), Kaona, Jayagiri, Amandine, Audonia and Albrennia.
