       Economic Information
       Model: Mixed Market. State capitalism with some Free-Market
       aspects.
       Overview:
       Kafiristan's economy is marked by statist policies and an
       inefficient state sector. The economy is structured primarily
       around the nation's energy sector, which generates about 95% of
       export earnings, 80% of GDP, and 99% of government income.
       Recently the nation has made some progress on economic reform as
       part of a broader campaign to reintegrate the country into the
       international fold. The service and construction sectors, which
       account for roughly 20% of GDP, expanded over the past five
       years and could become a larger share of GDP if Kator
       prioritizes capital spending on development projects once
       political and security uncertainty subside. Climatic conditions
       and poor soils severely limit agricultural output, and
       Kafiristan imports about 70% of its food.
       Monetary system: Gold Standard
       Gross Domestic Product:  (2012 est.)
       Total - $997.4 billion
       Per Capita - $13,100

       industry - 40.1%
       services - 47.9%
       Unemployment rate: 21% (2004 est.)
       Population below poverty line: 18.7% (2007 est.)
       Budget: (2011 est.)
       Revenue - $131.2 billion

       Kafiristan Civil War - National Revolutionary Authority
       For the past two years, Kafiristan had been torn apart by a
       brutal civil war. Thousands have died on both sides, and
       thousands more civilians have been killed. The National
       Revolutionary Assembly (Melka Anqlaby Gaddun - MAG), was formed
       to unite the many hundreds of opposition groups into a united
       front against the regime of Eternal President Zahid Sarkisian.
       Collectively, the Assembly manages and co-ordinates the various
       anti-government militias, the National Revolutionary Army (Melka
       Anqlaby Pawdzh - MAP). The Rebel forces are primarily a
       collection of militias from the ethnic minorities of Northern
       Kafiristan, as well as some political groups (such as the
       People's Mujahideen). The rebels primary strongholds are in the
       North-West of the Country. The Capital Kator is surrounded by
       rebel territory and most of the fighting consists of the
       Regime's forces attempting to maintain the supply route.

       Kafiristan Civil War - Multinational Force of Observers
       Two months ago, a multinational monitoring force formed by
       Føroyar and Hanxia and hastily deployed to the country during
       the Nowrūz Holiday Truce, with the permission of both
       sides. These forces currently manage and defend seven refugee
       camps across the country, as well as two large civilian
       airports. The mission is managed out of the Military base a
       Björnborg, the Føroyar colony,on the south coast. There are also
       countless observation posts across the countryside. The
       Multinational Force of Observers (MFO) wear terracotta coloured
       helmet covers and berets, and their vehicles are painted white
       with a thick terracotta strip on the front.
