ECONOMY
New York’s economy is one of the strongest on the continent, concentrated almost completely in financial, banking and international corporations headquartered in the nation. It has very little land, and most of it is heavily industrialized. It has very few natural resources, and relies almost entirely on trade with other nations. Its lack of energy independence has led to the Citadel both supporting ANTU drives to acquire foreign drilling rights, as well as exploring new methods of energy creation. The cost of living is very high.

OVERVIEW
One of the smallest but most economically powerful nations, New York Citadel (also referred to as New York) was originally part of Atlantica, but claims of under-representation by its generally more liberal populace, in addition to recognition of the monetary advantage of splitting, broke the city and its surrounding area into its own nation in the Redivision of 1994. It is considered an international economic and cultural capital and has a thriving economy, although it is completely dependent on trade with ANTU and other nations. Since the Redivision, which was engineered primarily by Governor Mario Cuomo and businessman Donald Trump, it has had a stable, generally liberal government. President Rudolph Giuliani (Independent, Manhattan) was responsible for the controversial measures of deporting criminals and orchestrating massive over-industrialization – though both measures were successful in promoting the city’s growth and safety. New York has frequently supported the international objectives of its allies, notably by sending troops into the Cancun War for Atlantica. Currently, President Michael Bloomberg (Independent, Manhattan) has driven the nation to unprecedented economic growth, although recent indices suggest that there may be a serious economic downturn in the nation’s future.
