Economics

Resources

With the advent of the industrial age certain resources once thought to be near useless have increased in importance to the point where they are, indeed, the primary concern of most policy and the cause of most conflict in this modern age. Petroleum and Coal are the two foundations of modern industry, and are commonly lumped into the all-important resource "Fuel".

Manpower

Industry

The industrial might of your nation.
