== Infrastructure Overview ==
While the region’s five major countries have a significant number of urban residents, Belesia has almost half of its population living in rural areas. The country contains a mixture of both modern cities, primitive rural villages, and everything in between. Modern utilities are found predominantly in the major cities and at reasonable levels throughout the rural countryside. 

Rapid urbanization is stressing the Belesian infrastructure to its limits. Despite this, Belesia can still claim to be among the best in the world in regards to some of the services it provides. Belesia has a robust mass transit system. Several bus companies provide transportation in major cities and to rural areas. Airports range from large international airports that can handle almost any aircraft, to small, unimproved dirt strips. Some seaports are modern that can handle the vast majority of global cargo vessels with dolphin platforms for the offloading of petroleum. The country suffers from high levels of pollution in the urban areas and the government has made policies to combat pollution in urban environments and water supplies.

Urban areas contain skyscraper buildings at least 100 m tall, large apartment complexes, and residential suburbs. There is a shortage of available housing that meets the minimum standards causing some of the poorest residents to construct makeshift dwellings. This is predominantly in the outskirts of the major urban areas. The local governments are actively creating new low income housing areas. Typical rural construction is low quality wooden houses with corrugated roofs. The Belesian government is investing heavily in modernizing living conditions for its entire population, but these upgrades are expected to take decades before completion.

Construction patterns in Belesia’s urban areas are similar throughout the country, with high-rise construction contrasted with low cost public housing requiring modernization due to age. City planners have extensive knowledge of strategic and sustainable city planning but are hampered by decades of unplanned growth and expansion. Building materials typically consist of concrete, steel, and rebar. In areas prone to flooding, houses are built on pilings to prevent flooding.

Military operations in urban areas will initially benefit from modern electricity, water, sewage, and other utility services. As the size of the force increases however, it will further stress the grid and could cause catastrophic failure. Urban areas provide additional networks of subterranean and vertical construction that will provide cover and concealment for the enemy and possible refuge to civilians in times of conflict. Because of its expansive metropolitan population spread across numerous islands, any military operation in Belesia will involve intensive urban operations.

== Major Belesian Cities and Urban Zones ==
Note: Belesian convention adds the term "city" following the municipality name to disambiguate it from other administrative regions or islands that might share the same name. Additionally, some city names--e.g. Naga--are used in more than one municipality. Belesia's national average for urban density is 232 / km<sup>2</sup>.

=== Davao City ===
Davao City is the capital of Belesia. It is also Belesia's largest city in both territory and population. The larger metro area of Davao City, Tagum, Panabo, Samal, and Digos combines for a total population of 2.5 million. Urban development is even more condensed than Cebu City, with over 75% of the population living and working within 15% of Davao City's land area.   

=== Cebu City ===
Cebu City serves as Belesia’s major port in the center of the Belesian archipelago. Metropolitan Cebu is made up of Cebu City, Carcar, Danao, Manuaue, Naga, Talisay, and Lapu-Lapu, with a combined population of 2.8 million. It is the most populous metro area in Belesia. Development is condensed to less than 20 percent of the terrain due to steep forested mountain ranges running parallel to the coastline. The city also boasts one of the largest and most sheltered harbors in Belesia. The buildings in the main urban areas consist of high-rise buildings, single family and duplex dwellings, and high-rise apartment buildings. On the periphery are the government tenement housing and shantytowns. A well-developed city core serves as an intermixed commercial and institutional center, with a larger residential zone on the surrounding periphery. Major shipping and ship repair facilities dominate the waterfront on the city's northwest coastline. 

=== Zamboanga City ===

Zamboanga City sits at the extreme western end of Mindanao Island at the bottom of a peninsula straddling the Sulu Sea and Celebes Sea. As with the other major Belesian cities, it boasts a good deep-water port. However, it is more known as a commercial fishing port and seafood processing center than a trade port. Construction is high-density mid-rise with orderly block-style development within the city core. Government, industry, and commerce are mixed in the central district surrounding the city pier. Development stretches primarily in an east-west fashion following the coastline. It transitions to more random, residential, and low-rise construction radiating out from the city center.   

=== Cagayan de Oro City ===
Cagayan de Oro City sits on the north side of Mindanao Island on the center of the Macajalar Bay coastline and is bisected by the Cagayan de Oro River. Seven other rivers also flow into this bay within a 16 km stretch of coastline. It is bounded by Mt. Mangabon 35 km to the east and Mt. Katanglad 35 km to the south. The port and industrial facilities are east of the river, with residences, resorts, and agriculture dominant on the west side. Construction is densely concentrated mid to low rise buildings surrounded by green space and agriculture. Construction patterns are mostly orderly, accounting for the irregularities dictated by the river courses. Government and other institutions are distributed on both sides of the river, mostly in the city center away from the shoreline. The terrain becomes extremely sloped within 10 kilometers of the shoreline where development abruptly ends.. 

=== Iloilo City ===

Iloilo City is the largest city on the Belesian island of Panay. The greater metropolitan population is 946,146. It sits on a large alluvial plain with much of development occurring on low-lying or reclaimed land. The Iloilo and Batiano Rivers in the south form two east-west peninsulas containing most of the old city residences and commerce. The Jaro Floodway forms the northern boundary of the city's development. The old airport forms the nucleus of a central business district, housing most of Iloilo's high-rise construction. The city's oceanfront borders the Iloilo Strait. Resorts and residences dominate the south coast, with traders and heavy industry accounting for most of the northeast coastal development. Construction patterns are mostly dense orderly along the peninsulas and in the central business district, giving way to dense random low-rise construction in the outlying districts.       

== Energy Sector ==
electricity; 96% in urban areas and 80% in rural areas. Large interconnection lines provide some measure of stability to the national grid. Getting power to the smaller outlying islands is a challenge. These islands are mainly serviced by small diesel generators (<1 MW) operating on a mini-grid. Those islands close enough to the main grid are connected via undersea cable.

=== Nuclear Power ===
There are no nuclear power plants in Belesia.

=== Renewable Power ===
Wind, solar, and biomass plants are gaining popularity with the number of new plants being built each year rising by 10-12%. Nearly all of the renewable energy plants have been developed within the last two decades, which means that they are significantly new and more modern than existing hydrocarbon power plants.

=== Hydrocarbon Power ===
Of the 63 operational hydrocarbon power plants, over half of the generating capacity comes from 16 coal-fired plants. These power plants have the greatest age on them and are more susceptible to breaking down just because of their age. Sometimes it is tough to find replacement parts for equipment and technology that was developed nearly six decades ago, or longer. In the past, Belesia has gone to North Torbia for assistance with fixing and maintaining outdated industrial equipment. However the latest round of international sanctions has made this more difficult.

=== Hydroelectric Power ===
Approximately 33% of Belesia’s power comes from 23 hydroelectric and geothermal plants. Hydroelectric power will continue to be an important resource in creating power in the country. While there are protestors that wish to get rid of any power produced by fossil fuels, this attitude has not transferred to the country’s hydroelectric and geothermal plants.

=== Home Heating ===
Home Heating: Due to the tropical climate (see Physical Environment variable) in most of Belesia, the temperature does not drop low enough so that heating is necessary. For the times when this does occur, most families put a few charcoal briquettes in the family stove to help heat the house. During this periods, the kitchen becomes even more of the hub for a family than normal.

== Water and Sanitation ==
Belesia continues to improve the number of its citizens that can access potable water and proper sanitation facilities. NGOs visit rural villages on a regular basis to educate the people on proper methods to gain access to clean water and dispose of body waste. These programs and the construction of facilities continue to improve the health of Belesians.

=== Water ===
Ninety percent of the population has access to potable water. Relatively modern household water distribution systems cover most cities, while the rural population relies on improved wells and boreholes. Though tropical, Belesia is also susceptible to drought, exacerbated on the smaller low-lying atolls. The government has invested in desalination projects to service the larger islands.

=== Sanitation ===
Seventy-five percent of the population has access to an improved sanitation, predominantly those in the developed urban areas. Even in the cities, this does not always equate to fixed plumbing in residences, but also includes improved latrines. The lack of universal or adequate sanitation contributes to the high rate of infectious disease spread, especially in the dense urban

== Transportation Architecture ==
Roads are the primary intra-island transportation method. Although air travel is gaining popularity, surface transport by boat, ferry, or coastal freighter is the primary inter-island mode of transport. Most roads, especially rural roads, are in poor condition at best, due to lack of maintenance. While Belesia has no operational railway, tentative plans envision initial construction around the capital city of Davao, eventually expanding out with 2,000 km of coverage throughout Mindanao.  
=== Road System ===
Overall, Belesian roads are below US standards. Driving is extremely hazardous and even more so at night and during the rainy season. In general, drivers typically ignore traffic laws and many vehicles on the roads fail to meet the minimum safety standards outlined by the government. 

==== Paved Roads ====
About 62% percent of Belesia's roads are paved. The network consists mainly of three types of national roads: Primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary roads connect three or more major population centers of 100,000 or more. Secondary roads connect major population centers to smaller cities and tertiary roads are any other maintained by the national government. The Belesian government maintains over 1,200 permanent bridges. During the monsoon season, roads in elevated areas have been known to have the soil wash out from underneath them, causing a collapse. 

==== Unpaved Roads ====
About 38% of Belesia’s roads are unpaved. Most of these contain a gravel road bed that helps drainage during rainstorms. Most of the country receives a large amount of rainfall and dirt roads without a gravel base are quickly washed away. Road maintenance projects create bottlenecks cutting two-way traffic to a single lane alternating the flow of traffic every few minutes. As anywhere else in the world, these projects often take several months to complete.       

==== Local Driving Habits ====
Belesian drivers have terrible habits including: overuse of the horn; texting while driving; racing to beat the red light; changing lanes too often; tailgating; failure to use seatbelts; using their hazard lights to park anywhere for a quick stop (e.g. an ATM withdrawal, or to make a quick purchase with a street vendor); and unloading passengers anywhere. If stopped for moving violations, most Belesian drivers will attempt to bribe the law enforcement officers. 

=== Public Transportation ===
The larger the city the more likely it is to be a hub for bus traffic. The bus companies are independently owned and operated. The buses run both in the major metropolitan areas and to the more rural areas, providing mainly long distance travel to the civilian population. Very few Belesians use them for local travel, as there are other more efficient and reliable ways to move around the congestion in the major metropolitan areas. The buses used by the private companies do not come from any predominant manufacturer. For the smaller companies that cannot afford to purchase new buses many are refurbished and updated. Many of the buses have air conditioning, which require passengers to pay an additional fee to ride. Many of the major bus companies originate their lines from the major metropolitan areas and then run to the more rural areas. Typically, the routes traveled are limited to only a few companies to each area. 

=== Rail System ===
Belesia has no operational railway system. Rugged terrain, adequate roads and plentiful water transport challenge the feasibility for a capital-intensive rail system. Initial work is proceeding on a 150- km prototype line in Davao City on Mindanao Island. If successful, an eventual 2,000 km system is planned to cover the entire island.  

=== Air Transportation System ===
Belesia's airport infrastructure can support major military operations. The two major international airports are located at Davao City on Mindanao Island, and Cebu City on Cebu Island, though most major islands have an international airport serving as a first port of entry. Belesia's network of airfield, fixed base operators, and maintenance facilities can accommodate most intermediate and some depot-level maintenance for its civil air fleet.

==== Seaports ====
Water transport is the primary mode of passenger and cargo transport within the Belesian archipelago and with its neighbors. Belesia has 36 seaports located along the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. There are11 Belesia ports that average more than 1 million tons of cargo throughput annually. The only ports that can accommodate Military Sea Lift (MSC) Commands Large, Medium-Speed Roll-on/Roll-off (LMSR) is the Port of Iloilo and the Port of General Santos. Belesia’s largest and most productive port is the Port of Iloilo, which is the independent capital of the province of Iloilo in the western Visayas region on Panay Island in the Philippines. Located in the center of the Belesia islands, the Port of Iloilo is well-positioned to be an important center for industry, commerce, and trade. It has the educational infrastructure to prepare a skilled workforce, and it has the physical city infrastructure to attract and support business and industry. Today, the Port of Iloilo’s banking, finance, retail trade, and customer service sectors are important to the local and national economy. In 2007, the City and Port of Iloilo was home to over 418 thousand people.

The Iloilo Commercial Port Complex is located on 20.8 hectares of reclaimed land. It includes 11,400 sq. meters of open space for operations, supplemented by an area of 97,000 sq. meters, fixed and mobile cranes, rails of 348 lineal meters; Roll-On-Roll-Off (RO/RO) support; a 7,800 container freight stations; and a 720 sq. meter passenger shed. The port complex is ideal for ships plying international routes having a berth length of 400 meters, a width of 26.26 meters and a berthing depth of 10.50 meters. Large inter-island ferries run 24/7 scheduled service to the main islands, and most others have daily service from one of the major gateway ports. Cargo traffic is mostly containerized or break-bulk with the ports of Davao and Cebu serving as the main entry points for scheduled liner services to the major container hubs in mainland Asia. These ports are operated with RORO capacity and combined are known as the Federated Nautical Highway.

Belesia has relatively large merchant marine and fishing fleets operating globally. Belesians are skilled navigators and it is common to see very small vessels operating at great distances offshore. These craft can be seen in the hundreds of smaller ports and anchorages that are not listed in the mainstream commercial port directories. The Belesian Ministry of Infrastructure assigns the administrative responsibility for ports, waterways, merchant and fishing fleets to the Belesian Maritime Authority. Enforcement of Belesian laws in Belesian territorial waters and exclusive economic zone enforcement falls to the Coast Guard and Revenue Service of Belesia, under the overall authority of the Ministry of Finance.

.At a local scale, water transport is sometimes the primary form of transportation that rural island communities may have. Small boats serve a wide variety of roles, from being taxis to being school buses. One challenge that the Belesian government has faced is finding a way to make travel by small boat safer. There have been a number of incidents where boats have capsized and lost everyone on board, including boats serving as school buses that were loaded over capacity with children.

==== Navigable Rivers ====
All rivers in Belesia are navigable for only small vessels. There are no rivers where oceangoing freighters can travel upstream from the ports on the coasts. Locals will use traditional boats to bring their goods to market.

=== Pipelines ===
There are a few pipelines in Belesia and more are being built every year as the economy continues to grow.

==== Petroleum ====
Belesia has a single refinery located in southern Luzon. After conversion of the petroleum to various types of oil-based products, there are a few pipelines that distribute the refined petroleum to the largest cities in Belesia. There is also a complex petroleum pipeline system that operates at the larger ports. Some of them take raw petroleum and then transport it to the refinery before distribution. Other pipelines take refined products off of ships and transport them to holding facilities before distribution throughout the country.  

==== Natural Gas ====
Most pipelines in Belesia are for natural gas. There are approximately 200 km of transmission pipelines that run from the offshore fields west of Gabal’s Palawan Island to southern Luzon. Then there are another 300 km of distribution pipelines that distribute the natural gas to much of Belesia. Over 9% of Belesia's electricity comes from the fuels transported by these pipelines.  

==== Water ====
Water is transported in standard pipes from the purification plants to those houses that have indoor tap water. The same pipes transport water to community fountains where people without indoor water can get their daily water supply. There are no major pipelines transporting water great distances across the country.  

== Telecommunications Architecture ==
In Belesia, most citizens can access a telephone and listen to a radio or television, and over 70 percent of the population has access to the internet either through computers or through cell phones. Belesia boasts the largest growth trends within the archipelago, with upgrades and competition in both internet and mobile services. Belesians have approximately 20 million landlines and 40 million cell phones. The country has multiple radio stations that range from government owned, religious, pop culture, and music. There are three national television networks and approximately 40 local television stations providers.

== Industry ==
Belesian manufacturing is relatively significant, but lags behind its neighbor South Torbia in capital and technological investment. It possesses a modest steel industry along with the attendant downstream industries. Abundant regional energy reserves and favorable environmental laws sustain a capable but ageing petrochemical industry. 

=== Food and Agriculture ===
About 30% of Belesians farm, accounting for 10% of the country’s GDP, though it is a net food importer due to large rice imports. The bulk of Belesian farms are small farms and family run. Irrigation is controlled by the Belesian government, which recently implemented legislature that removed charges for small farmers to irrigate their fields. In the central region of Belesia, the crops are rain fed and irrigation is used in the lowlands.

Major crops are abaca, cashew, citrus fruit, coconut, lemon, maguey, mango, oil palm, pineapple, papaya, other fruits, and rubber, while annual crops are cabbage, cassava, corn, cotton, eggplant, garlic, onion, peanut, sweet potato, rice, sugarcane, tobacco, and vegetables. The current agriculture production is not sufficient to sustain the population and the country must import grains and soybeans to meet the demand of the populace. The government has placed increased emphasis on the agriculture sector to become more self-sufficient. The palm oil industry has been growing over the last decade, with many farmers switching from other crops to the more economically beneficial palm oil industry. This trend has not only made it harder for local agriculture to sustain the population, it has also led to an increase in deforestation in order to clear land for palm oil plantations. This has become a particularly intense issue on the island of Borneo, where environmentalists seek to protect endangered rain forests.

=== Oil/Gas ===
Belesia is a net energy importer in both natural gas and crude oil. The country does have an extremely well-developed maritime transport and storage terminal infrastructure. Each port has storage facilities capable of handling both raw petroleum and finished petroleum products. After offloading from the ships, the Belesian distribution system works well getting the products to where they are needed.  

=== Defense Infrastructure ===
Recent construction of coastal patrol craft based on indigenous designs are the highlight of the Belesian defense industry. It is also a key player intermediate maintenance, with depots servicing sophisticated maritime, aviation and land systems. Domestically produced land force products are limited to tactical vehicle modification, small arms, and personnel equipment.     

=== Nuclear Facilities ===
Belesia does not possess the infrastructure nor the resources to have nuclear capabilities.

=== Space ===
Belesia participates in UN space protocols and other international agreements controlling satellite use in search and rescue, communication, and navigation. However, it procures all of its imaging and communication services from the private sector and security partners. Its proximity to the equator has made it a frequent target for real estate acquisition for corporations looking to construct ground control stations.
