Cordial greetings; welcome to the South Pacifican Investment Office*. The purpose of this thread is to facilitate trade and economy-related roleplaying by acting as a centralized reference guide for information regarding national economies and trade policies. While detailed economic statistics are wiki material, this forum thread will help increase the visibility of basic metrics and allow participants to provide a basic outline without needing to create a separate post or commit to writing a whole page on TSPedia. *Name graciously provided by Ikonen/Huawan through Discord.
To participate, simply answer all applicable questions from the questionnaire below. Where options are provided in brackets (e.g. [Free trade] [Centrally planned] …), erase all of them except the one that applies. To prevent clutter, please make corrections by editing your post instead of reposting. An example post in the form of my nation’s stats will be provided below.
