Economic system
The economic system of Girisko is a highly developed, mixed market economy with dirigeristic characteristics, dominated by worker enterprises and cooperatives and characterized by low levels of inequality, a generous welfare system, regulation and reduced concentration of top incomes, which can be attributed to Girisko's highly efficient and strong social security system, and partial or full state ownership of strategic industries. The Giriskonese economic model emphasizes trade liberalization, foreign investments, and an industrial strategy focused on exports and international trade. Advanced sectors such as manufacturing, research and technology are heavily invested in, and skilled immigration. A large percentage of the highly skilled workforce is employed by the public sector, which amounts to roughly 30% of the work force. In addition, the government provides publicly aivalable economic data and predictions through an economic simulation called Synthetic Synergy (SySy), which is free of charge with which companies are able to gain insights on their decisions. As such, Synthetic Synergy influences a significant proportion of economic activity.
State-owned strategic companies include utilities, mail, rail transport, airlines, electrical power industry, fossil fuels and the arms industry. The government encourages the formation of worker cooperatives over traditional firms. The economic system in Girisko is called the Giriskonese model, and is currently only seen in use in Girisko proper.
Synthetic Synergy (SySy)
Synthetic Synergy (SySy) (合成相乗効果; , Gōsei sōjō-kōka/合相; ゴーソー, Gōsō) is a powerful, continuous economic simulation run by the Giriskonese government that transmits publicly available economic data, information, advice and predictions, free of charge, on production to businesses and corporations, who are able to make their own decisions in light of that advice that they gain by observing the economic simulation.
Sectors
Agriculture and animal husbandry
The size of agricultural industries as percentages on the agriculture sector (2024)
Agriculture in Girisko today makes up 10% of the GDP per sector of the Giriskonese economy and covers a large amount of consumption needs of the population. It used to be a large sector in Girisko, which had helped propel the industrial revolution in the nation by providing a stable source of funds for the government. Today, however, it is dwarfed by manufacturing and more advanced sectors.
As much as half of the Giriskonese land area, specifically eastern Girisko, is suitable for farming. As such, much of the farmland is intensely cultivated, with some areas suitable for two and even three crops a year. Agricultural modernization and investment put into new farming methods and green energy has helped increase the agricultural yield of Giriskonese farmlands. The most widely grown crops in Girisko include are rice, wheat, potatoes, betel nuts, cocoa beans, sugar cane, herbs, avocados, bananas, dragon fruit, strawberries, and various other fruits, mushrooms and vegetables. Girisko imports crops that are not produced domestically. The domestic agricultural production is either used domestically or sold internationally.
Dairy production and consumption makes up a sizable portion of agricultural production in Girisko. Girisko largely uses cows and sheep as livestock, mostly for dairy products of dairy products, such as milk, cheese, and more. Pork and other animals are also used as live stock, but in smaller quantities, because of the eating habits of the average Giriskonese people. Poultry, however, and more specifically chickens, are more widely used as livestock because chicken products such as eggs are typically common in the diets of everyday people.
The land in eastern Girisko that can't be easily converted into farmland is typically dominated by forests. Trees in Girisko, with government regulations and replanting plans to stabilize the environment, are cut down to be used as building material for constructions, paper, furniture, such as cabinets and drawers, and foreign exports. Additionally, wood is also sometimes used as fuel during camping.
The fishing industry is much larger than the meat industry. Fishing has always been a rich industry in Girisko, even before the industrial revolution, due to fish being a staple in the diet of the average Giriskonese person. Coastal fishing by small boats, set nets, or breeding techniques account for about one third of the industry's total production, while offshore fishing by medium-sized boats makes up for another one third of the amount of caught fish. Freshwater fishing in rivers and lakes make up almost one third of the industry. Deep-sea fishing from larger vessels makes up the rest. Among the many species of seafood caught are sardines, skipjack tuna, crab, shrimp, salmon, pollock, squid, clams, mackerel, sea bream, sauries, tuna, tropical fish, trout and eel, catfish, chub, herring, goby, freshwater crustaceans as crabs and crayfish, as well as hundreds of other fish from Giriskonese lakes and rivers. trout and eel hatcheries and fish farms are also used. Giriskonese fishing vessels are also travelling in international waters. Fish that are caught and brought back to Girisko are either used domestically, or are sold internationally.
Additionally, the winemaking, chocolate, tea, flower industries, as well as various restaurants, are widespread in Girisko and provide large income through exports. However, the fast food industry has been unable to properly develop in Girisko, with large cities being notable exceptions, because of the contrast between the fast food genre and the eating habits of Giriskonese people.
Energy and electricity
Giriskonese energy production per industry in percentage (2024)
Historically, Girisko has been able to avoid spending money on energy imports from other nations thanks to the abundance of natural resources that can be used for energy production, such as fossil fuels. Coal used to be the main fossil fuel used in Giriskonese energy and electricity production, especially in the 19th century, with it accounting for 76% of the total energy production and consumption in Girisko. Other fossil fuels, such as natural gas, which can be seen in large concentrations in northern Kiba, as well as Byо̄bо̄, consisted the rest of the Giriskonese energy production (24%). The fossil fuel industry, alongside agriculture, were necessary in kickstarting economic growth and in giving a cheap and easily accessible solution to the high energy demands by the population, economy and the various institutions that kept the nation running, as well as being a source of jobs, economic incentives, investment, and exports to the international market, providing new funds. Industrialized methods of energy extraction and coal mining allow for efficient modern energy production.
Investment largely directed towards renewable technologies and renewable energy production due to concerns over environmental issues caused by greenhouse gas emissions by fossil fuels has led to large growth in the industry. Today, renewables are a competent and viable nationwide energy source and market. As of 2024, coal has seen a 50% reduction in usage in energy production, with it nowadays contributing only 26% of the total energy production in Girisko. Coal, while still being extracted in considerable quantities in Girisko, is largely directed towards exports to other countries and the global market instead of domestic consumption. Natural gas consumption for energy production has risen to accounting for 40% of the Giriskonese energy production. Investments in the natural gas industry, natural gas processing, new technologies, and the construction of new processing plants has helped the industry bloom. Natural gas that is not used domestically is, likewise, sold internationally at the most competitive prices possible. Together, fossil fuels account for 66% of the modern energy production in Girisko.
The rest of the 34% of energy production in Girisko is produced by renewables. Hydropower consists of 10% of the renewable energy production, with investment being poured into the construction of dams in many lakes and rivers in Girisko. Wind power consists of another 10% of the renewable energy production. Girisko has been constructing wind turbines, typically in uninhabited territory or in rural plains. Yet another 10% of energy production can be attributed to solar panels. The large manufacturing sector, and specifically, the electrical industry in Girisko has made construction of solar panels domestically economically feasible. The rest of the 4% of renewable energy production is attributed to bioenergy, and more specifically, biofuel. Rotten food and waste that can't be recycled is converted into energy in energy plants.
In total, energy production in Girisko accounts for 3% of the GDP as a sector. The manufacturing, industrial and service sectors are currently the largest energy consumers in Girisko, and as such, a large subsidy of energy production is directed towards these industries. Electricity, energy production and the vital structure related to it are nationalized industries, owned by state-owned enterprises, such as GirGREEN, GiriskoPower, and more, which are in charge of providing free electricity to the population. The Giriskonese energy use per capita is on the rise, due to the growing economy, and as such, even with investment in renewables, carbon dioxide emissions will continue to rise for the foreseeable future.
Mining and raw materials
Percentage of the size of industries on the mining sector (2024)
.JPG)
Girisko, thanks to some extent by it's many mountains, is rich to natural deposits, mineral deposits and other resources. The rich mineral deposits of Girisko have allowed the country to achieve important domestic manufacturing capabilities while reducing foreign imports. Historically, these mineral deposits have helped Girisko to kickstart economic growth, proving vital in the efforts of the rapid industrialization of the economy thanks to the funds from this sector. These mineral deposits were also highly valued in older times. Copper was widely used during the bronze age in the production of copper alloys for tools, weapons and armour, while iron and other finer metals also begun being used in classical Girisko. As of 2024, the mining sector constitutes 10% of the country's GDP. Girisko is a large producer of Silicon, Silver, Copper, Gold, Mercury, Platinum, Tungsten, Aluminium, rare earth metals, precious metals and stones and especially diamonds, coal, and to a smaller extent, a producer of uranium. Investments in mining technologies and more efficient mining techniques have helped mining bloom as a economic sector.
Today, Silicon makes up 9% of the mining industry in Girisko, being extracted in Honso, and is primarily used in the in the production of electrical components and semiconductors. Silicon is also exported to other nations for their factories. Copper makes up 10% of the mining industry in Girisko and is primarily extracted in the Shimokawa, Kanemoto, Tendо̄, and Aokita provinces. Copper is used domestically in the production of alloys, household applications such as roofs and doors, pipes, ship components, electrical equipment such as wiring and motors, and in various scientific uses in the form of copper sulfate for water purification and copper compounds for sugar detection. Aside from domestic use, copper alloys such as bronze is sold for construction and for use in electrical equipment. Gold is actively extracted in the Tantaki province, and takes up 5% of the mining industry. Historically, it was used primarily in the decoration of palaces, jewerly and the minting of coins. While today it is also used for the minting of coins and jewerly, it is also used in electronic components, primarily for computers, and in medical practises, such as the replacement of teeth. Platinum takes up 8% of the mining industry, and is primarily mined in the Shо̄tani province. It is used in catalytic converters for vehicles, laboratory equipment, electrical contacts and electrodes, platinum resistance thermometers, dentistry equipment, and other minor equipment. Most of the platinum produced is also consumed domestically, but surplus platinum is sold to the international market. Mercury takes up 8% of the mining industry, being extracted in the Honso and Shimokawa provinces, and is used in the manufacturing of batteries, fluorescent lights, paints, dental fillings, soaps, and electrical switches. It is not traded internationally in it's extracted form to a considerable extent.
Tungsten occupies 10% of the mining industry, and is extracted in О̄yama , Makigawa and Sо̄yama. Tungsten is mostly used in alloy production due to it's contributions in metalworking with it's hardness and density, aswell as in the production of electrical components, computer chips, vehicle parts, heating elements, field emitters, filaments in light bulbs and military equipment. While not exported in it's pure form, alloys with tungsten and other materials that were created with it are exported internationally. Aluminium, taking up 22% of the mining sector, can be seen in large qualities in much of western Girisko, and is being actively extracted for the manufacturing of consumer and luxury goods like cans, aeroplane components, foils, beer kegs, kitchen utensils and window frames. Rare earth metals and stones (REEs) make up 3% of the mining industry and can be found in much of Girisko, with their largest concentrations being actively extracted in О̄yama, being used for glass, lights, magnets, batteries, catalymic converters, and the production and powering of much of modern technology. Precious metals, making up 3% of the mining industry, are also found through much of Girisko and are mined in small quantities, with the significant diamond deposit being mined in О̄yama being a exception, due to the deposit being large. They are used as sensors in the steel industry, catalysts for chemical processes, contact materials in the electrical industry and glass coatings, as well as for ewellery and to aid in industrial processes. Both rare earth metals/stones and precious metals/stones are also sold internationally at high prices. Both rare earth metals/stones and precious metals/stones are also sold internationally at high prices.
Coal takes up 20% of the mining industry, and is common through much of Girisko, being actively mined in various places. It is used for domestic energy production in coal plants and everyday use, accounting for 26% of the nation's total energy production, but it is primarily exported to other countries in order to avoid domestic pollution while still making profits off of the extraction of coal. The importance of coal as a energy source in poor to developing countries have led to it being a highly desired product. Lastly, Uranium, which takes up the last 2% of the mining industry, is occassionally extracted in minor quantities, either to be used for medicinal purposes, x-ray technology, or for exports to other countries.
Manufacturing
The Giriskonese manufacturing sector, as of today, accounts for 33% of the total GDP per sector. Historically, industrial, large-scale manufacturing kicked off after the industrial revolution in Girisko made it possible to produce consumer goods and products with automated machinery in factories. Economic reforms exploited the economic potential of agriculture, mining and energy in Girisko, highly developing them, and using the funds from economic growth to propel a industrialized manufacturing sector, with the domestic mining industry and foreign trade with other nations making it easier for domestic manufacturing and industrial production to grow. Today, Girisko is a significant manufacturer of consumer goods, luxury goods, various other goods and products, with manufacturing being the largest economic sector in Girisko.
