Economy of Kafuristan

Historically, Kafuristan has had a very oil-centric economy. Along with Badara, Kafuristan is one of the most oil rich nations in all of Terra. During the transitional period and the New Republic the economy changed expansively, going beyond oil. However, oil still remained a huge booster for national wealth.

Beginning the 3320s, Kafuristan adopted many economically liberal policies and made huge cuts to corporate taxes. Both the manufacturing and service sectors saw considerable growth. Cities like al-Kasraj and Zerin became economic centers and many skyscrapers rose on their horizons. The cities host Kafuristan's two stock exchanges, the Kasraj Exchange (KEX) and the Zerin Mercantile Exchange (ZME). Of the two, the Kasraj Exchange is the primary exchange of the nation.

The largest industries of Kafuristan, besides oil, are textiles, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and mining. There is also significant growth in the consumer electronics and banking sectors in Kafuristan's urban centres.

Agriculture
In Kafuristan's less affluent regions, agriculture is one of the more major sectors of the economy. The core of Kafuri agriculture is located in Pabeus and Nekkah. Those regions, along with Jerze'har, are the most fertile in the nation.

The primary products of Kafuri agriculture are grapes, olives, figs, peaches, apples, pears, plums, apricots, almonds, cherries, and citrus fruit.

Tourism
Kafuristan has many locations which bring in millions of tourists every year. In Abi'nadi, the holy city of Helem attracts many religious pilgrims from the Abadi and Quenranzariah faiths. The Kafuri capital, al-Kasraj, also receives many visitors due to its growing shopping districts and ever expanding financial district.

While Abi'nadi is strong for tourism, Jerze'har is by far the centre of Kafuristan's tourism industry. Zerin's beaches and nightlife bring in not just locals, but many foreigners. This is then combined with a strong presence of foreign students that often study at the University of Zerin.
