blend of East and West History: I will finally jot down my jumbled mess of notes and ideas in my head eventually, but not now. Territorial Claims: Economy: Heavily industrialized, it is commonly stated that Akiya's greatest weapon is its factories. (Notable) Industries: - Automobiles - Glassworks - Distilleries - Fisheries - Electronics - Clothing - Small Arms - Artillery - Aeroplanes Natural Resources: Sizable fishing and aquaculture industry. Try the caviar! Has a lot of magnetite, wolframite, rutile, chromite, quartz, and bauxite that are being thoroughly developed with the help of Fuso's administration - Fish - Rice - Wool - Rubber - Iron - Coal - Sulfur - Timber Technology: It's gucci yo One of the most technologically advanced nations in the world, Akiya has no shortage of bright minds. Social Development: Has a rich culture, but struggles with the effective interconnection between all levels of Government Must finely balance the needs of the people with the interests of the Kyasei Khita Some believe that Akiya is ready for a fully secular state, but this opinion remains unpopular throughout large sections of society Although Akiya remains heavily urbanized along its densely-populated coasts, the vast divide between the cities and countryside is jarring, to say the least.
