Economic Policy
Great Pwnage is known for a high flat tax rate of 28%. In order to keep its economy stable with such high taxation, this government income is used for various investments back into the nation. Large amounts of government spending goes into developing infrastructure, and grants for technological research and development. Coming third behind infrastructure and technology spending is Great Pwnage’s military budget, which is rather large for a nation of its size. Finally, some money is used towards social spending programs, although to promote job growth Great Pwnage adopts a Capitalist approach towards businesses, and is strict with entitlement spending.

Resources
Water and Wheat are the nation’s leading exports. A significant factor in the country’s staggering growth is the expanding trade surplus as world demand for wheat and water continues to increase. Government subsidies early in the nation’s existence helped fuel the production of export resources, although as the economy has grown more prosperous these subsidies are gradually being repealed.

Industry
Great Pwnage is known for quickly developing industry in the production of beer and steel, and well as construction ventures. The national beer, Uber Microbrew, is made from local water and wheat, and is famous for its staggering 7% alcohol by volume. Consequently, Uber Microbrew is a worldwide favorite and a subject of national pride. Steel production and construction industries are booming in large part because of the fast expansion of the country’s infrastructure, and demand from the military for tanks, aircraft, and cruise missiles. Very little steel is exported due to the incredible domestic demand. More recently, fast food companies have sprung up across the nation.

Technology
Great Pwnage has a rapidly expanding industry exporting technological innovations. Legislation is under review by the Emperor for expanding the nation's technology export program to unprecedented levels.
