Vastime does hold both federal and state owned business particularly in the Textile Market and Raw Resource market. While not the leader they make sure to keep the market full of quality items, allowing for corporations to receive tax breaks by going through them for short periods of time. This brings in a decent level of income on top of tax revenue for the government.

The average tax burden is around 30% while high in regards to Japan and many other nations this tax allows for Vastime to accomplish many of the feats it reknown for, such as promoting the education of their society, military, and market. Corporations are not as frequent in Vastime as opposed to other nations, yet it has a decent amount which pay a tax up to anywhere from 39-50% depending on the income level it brings in. Of course with these tax burdens their are ways to reduce it temporarily such as offering tax relief on charitable donations, major discoveries by a group or person, promoting culture, etc.

While some wish to lower the tax there has not be major outcry due to the efficiency in which Vastime uses it money to promote its way and their people way of life. With little corruption on the national or state level government there needs to be a strong sense of trust to have this tax burden to work effectively.

Vastime typically focuses on the exports of textiles, raw/refined resources, mechanical goods (electronics, machines, and potentially weapon), information technology, and finally Vastime has quite the tourism sector popping up. Vastime while utilizing the raw resources of Africa has made sure to keep in place certain regulations and restrictions to keep the natural beauty of the land; a heavy portion of the government budget going to keeping both the land flourishing while utilizing its resources to the utmost.

When it comes to raw economic prowess Vastimians seem to have their trades down to a letter, either from natural talent or simply having to proper tools in life to achieve their desired profession. Due to the proficient schooling system and investment into the future of Vastime the general populace are well off, with moderate difference between the highest and lowest earners. Focusing on exporting and self-sustenance the Vastime economy is a mix of textiles being exported, one of its most profitable regions due to the high demand of their top of the quality textiles. Focusing heavily on maintaining the image of natures beauty in their nation led to a nice tourism market- but the demand for resources despite the safe renewable energy present in most Vastimian homes, led to a expansion into the ocean having claimed multiple island and territories in the Vastime name using them as bases for resource mining. However it is worth noting that once an island is owned they do make their best attempts of making enjoyable for citizens of Vastime, meaning these island often have a delicate balance of mining and environmental safety.

This careful consideration for the environment mixed with a very profitable market led to them holding multiple on land and aboard farms making it one of their largest exports as well. Vastimians hold the quality of their items in high regard but thanks to the equally powerful economies nearby allows Vastime to export freely. Their final industry is a recent one, the Information Technology is also a highly valuable market in Vastime both home and abroad.

Regarding imports, Vastime imports a large number of goods mostly due to it being structured as a strong trading hub meaning that the once isolated Vastimian and African culture has become influenced by an array of other cultures. But that isn’t to say Vastimian influence from his hasn’t spread globally, in fact it’s more than tripled in the last year alone. But items that are imported can included the latest in technology (if they haven’t produced it), grains such as corn among other food items, and finally energy. Despite being a energy producing nation itself, Vastime imports many times of energies such as raw gases, aether energy, or any type of useful energy that could be used for day to day life or special Vastimian projects.

The Iron Banner of Vastime

The Iron Banner of Vastime or more commonly known as ‘Vastime’ started out as the reformation of a long dead clan Hayden had decided to resurrect as a way to keep his family legacy alive well after his death, yet it evolved into something much more along its formation and creation. In early 2415 a independent operation launched in Africa to clear Somalia of its hollow presence which was a massive success leading to the rebuilding of Somalia as the Capital of the Vastimians Kingdom. As Vastime grew so did its involvement in Africa leading to a massive growth in its influence on the continent along with the spread of Vastimians powers; which could be done through a simple ritual. Thus forming the creation of The Iron Banner of Vastime, a conglomerate of former African nations into states under the banner of Vastime with Hayden at the helm. Yet, he didn't accomplish this solely on his own, having massive support from the Yuudeshi’s was an integral part of this project something that will not be soon forgotten.

To be apart of the 1st Field Army one must pass a rigious training process and be of the highest caliber of personnel in the Vastimian armed forces; which is a feat in of itself due to the high standards even the most basic units. So in short this is considered an example of Vastimian Military structure, equipment, and personnel.

The Vastimian military works on a 'prestige' system in which is based on both a unit history and seniority of the unit. For instance, with this being the oldest unit they have the oldest seniority and because of it's excellent training is rated as the 'top unit' of Vastime. While each division and corps have it's own sort of hierarchy merely being apart of this field army is a highly respected achievement.
