Economy

In the first few years after its founding, Woodland struggled to establish a stable economy and lift its Human Development Index (HDI) above that of most developing nations. The government had made some initial investments in education and healthcare, but lacked the resources and expertise to create a robust economy that could sustain the needs of the population.

However, a breakthrough came when the government signed a trade agreement with a neighboring nation that provided Woodland with access to new markets for its agricultural and natural resource products. This allowed Woodland to earn more foreign currency and invest in infrastructure, such as roads and power grids, that further boosted economic growth.

With a new influx of foreign investment, Woodland's economy began to thrive. The government continued to prioritize education and healthcare, which helped to improve the country's HDI rankings. As more businesses moved into the area, jobs became more plentiful and wages increased, giving the people of Woodland a higher standard of living.

Despite some initial struggles, Woodland's commitment to building a strong economy and investing in its people paid off in the end. Today, Woodland is a prosperous nation with a high HDI and a bright future ahead. It has many exports and imports from Manspole and Gorthia, consisting of Iron, Wood, and Stone.
