### Agriculture

Compared to all the other regions having their lush, fertile plains, **Saisho** has relatively mountainous terrain that is less suited for farming and more leaning towards mining instead of farming and producing food for the Territory. But nevertheless some parts of **Saisho** were able to pull through these uninhabitable conditions by creating and building smaller, terraced fields of rice to sell.

But in the end, Agriculture died out and replaced with manufacturing, mining and creating high quality technology: and all for low costs of money.
