Economy of Pontesi

The economy of South Korea is a slowly emerging trillion dollar economy that is considered one of the fastest growing in Majatran. It sustained double-digit economic growth for decades, growing faster than any other major economy due to non-restrictive policy and several free-trade agreement. An extremely competitive education system and a highly skilled and motivated workforce are two key factors driving this knowledge economy that is focusing on increasing scientific and mathematics literacy.

The currency is the Pontesian Dollar and Pontesi GDP is 7,557,976,804,002 PON with only 10% is government and 15.40% is investment.

Agriculture
The enormous growth of urban areas led to a rapid decrease of available farmland, while at the same time population increases and bigger incomes meant that the demand for food greatly outstripped supply. The result of these developments was that roughly 20% of Pontesi's needs, mainly wheat and animal feed corn, was imported.

Services
Service industries included insurance, restaurants, hotels, laundries, public bath houses, health-related services, and entertainment establishments. There were thousands of small shops marketing specialized items, large traditional marketplaces, and streamlined buildings housing corporate and professional offices. Game rooms featuring billiards, and tearooms serving a variety of beverages were located on almost every downtown city corner.

A growing number of workers were employed by the department stores (most of which were owned by FastMart) that were opening rapidly in the downtown areas of major urban centers. The vast majority of retailers were small merchants in cities, towns, and villages, each with a modest storefront, or stand, limited stock, and poor access to capital, but the great majority of Pontesian made their purchases from these small retailers.

The distribution system was far from perfect, and many recognized the need for better organization and management. Most of the nation's wholesalers were located in Lerna and accounted for most of the turnover of goods. Most of the sales outlets were located in the heart of urban centers. Cargo truck terminals and warehouse facilities were spread irregularly through city neighborhoods.

An improved transportation and communications infrastructure, increasing incomes, enhanced consumer sophistication, and government tax incentives encouraged the development of a modern distribution network of chain stores, supermarkets, and department stores.
