Miranian Economy

Mirani has the largest economy in the oceanic region, (Excluding AUS, NZ, NH & QLD). With a GDP of US $31.8 billion. The nominal GDP per capita was US$28,188 in 2011. Much of the wealth is centred in the 3 largest cities, Crestview, Seatown and Shoreline. The currency Mirani uses is the Miranian Dollar (MND), buying at a rate of $1 MND to $1.04 USD.

The GPD grew rapidly once oiloil and natural gas was discovered and exported. All oil and natural supplies all of Mirani's oil and gas needs, and produces more than the country can handle. This results in large amounts of exports and little imports of oil and natural gas. The oil is some of the finest quality in the world, being imported to all corners of the globe.

97.6% of Miranians are employed, 2.4% are unemployed. Taxes are raised and unemployed citizens receive $300 a week and live in public housing supplied by the government. There are services for the unemployed, where they can go to receive free meals and education to find jobs. There are generally no homeless people on the streets, as if one is found they are imediatly put into multi-story public housing.

Few areas are suitable for agriculture, only areas on some smaller islands and coastal regions of the big island which results in 23% of all imports being food. Mirani is one of the largest producers of Sugar Cane, Yams, coconuts and pineapples. Tourism is very heavy, the recorded amount of tourists in 2011 was just over 1 million. Many cities (other than crestview) tallest buildings are either resorts or hotels, many of these are along the coast which is why so many people live in coastal areas. Tourism makes up the most amount of Mirani's jobs.

The Crestview CBD holds the highest amounts of jobs available to Miranians, as citizens travel all over Capital Island and also from the Big Island to work, which causes major traffic jams on he city's highway network. The CBD is very dense for a city of it's size, as it land prices are very expensive, businesses will build up with large roof heights of around 3m. This creates cheaper skyscrapers with fewer floors than other buildings of the same height.

Tourism makes up a large amount of workplaces in Mirani, mostly in resort hotels and attractions.
