Economic
The Belesian economy is an emerging economy attempting to expand from its original agrarian base. Seeking to follow the example of other Pacific nations that have developed strong economies, Belesia has created manufacturing base centered on goods processing. A combination of a relatively skilled but low-cost labor force and policy changes that opened up the country to greater foreign investment created a fast growing economy, expanding in the range of 6-7% annual over the last five years despite both international market fluctuations and domestic political turbulence. However, Belesia lacks a sophisticated manufacturing structure, adequate infrastructure, or full access to international markets. Wealth distribution is extremely inequitable and while the unemployment has steadily declined over the past decade, the majority of available jobs are tedious and for low wages with high underemployment. Possible territorial disputes, particularly with regarding to fishing, have also strained relationships between Belesia and its neighbors. A fractured topography and an unevenly distributed population exacerbate the risk. Unsettled islands, of which Belesia has over 1000, are vulnerable to competing declarations of sovereignty and economic exploitation. Belesia attempts to maintain strong diplomatic ties both with its immediate neighbors and with more powerful regional stakeholders.Despite these challenges, the overall economic outlook for Belesia is positive. The country possesses a large supply of human capital and significant natural resources. The industrial transformation to manufacturing of electronic components is beginning to show profitability, although at the expense of traditional agricultural output. Economic and government reforms are generally seen as positive increasing the likelihood of both international trade and foreign investment.
Social
Belesian society is a blend of island diversity with religious homogeneity. As a nation, it has struggled to overcome the cultural differences of the various scattered ethnic groups in the multi-island nation. However, centuries of colonial rule, and the rejection of that rule, served as a catalyst of the unifying spiritual presence of Islam – a unique institution in this region. This process has been anything but smooth, as the country has suffered a series of political shifts between popular yet inefficient and often corrupt traditionalists and more Western-leaning but brutal military juntas.
