##### Mir

Mir, despite being occupied for a similar duration as Tropicana, did not receive the same level of investment as other states. This discrepancy can be attributed to the long and bitter First Coalition War. However, in recent years, there has been some investment in the southern region, particularly near the capital, which has led to improvements in infrastructure. As a result, heavy industry, agriculture, and manufacturing jobs have emerged in these areas. Additionally, the past decade has witnessed the rapid growth of the military industry, with Arenmisa outsourcing the production of small arms, vehicles, and even tanks. While the country still faces challenges in diversifying its economy, this burgeoning military industry allows for the injection of capital back into the nation, particularly towards military endeavors.

Regrettably, despite receiving agricultural and industry subsidies, the northern region of Mir continues to languish as a neglected and underdeveloped area, causing growing discontent among its residents. The challenge of disarming the population remains a struggle, as the indigenous military displays hesitancy in effectively addressing this issue. Only time will reveal the outcome of these circumstances and their impact on the region.
