-=Economy=-
Overview: Jagada is a nation feeling both the positive and negative effects of all different kinds of economic fashions. Ranging from Pure Capitilism to Pure Communism. The power of the tribes within the Commonwealth to conduct their own local economic policy has been challanged from time to time. While the Central Government holds nearly all power over the tribes, its let them control their economy as they see fit. Though as it stands now, the Central Government is advocating a stronger Capitilistic Economic Policy. This policy has hurt internal trade more than external trade. With Northern and Eastern Jagada remaining primarily of socialist policy, while Central, Western, and Southern Jagada remain primarily Capitilist. While Jagada remains an excellent nation to trade with, it still needs to earse the line dividing the nations economic status.
