The current government has suffered multiple recent corruption scandals, with several highly-placed politicians personally benefiting through kickback schemes from the push for growth in the manufacturing sector. Questions also still remain as to how deeply in the pockets of the lobby groups some politicians lie.
YELLOWVANIA
INTRODUCTION
The presence of both petroleum and phosphate in Yellowvania has long provided a source of economic earnings via export, bringing stability to this African nation, which escaped French rule in 1960. A local sultan became king, and members of his family have ruled Yellowvania since. Yellowvania’s close proximity to Europe has allowed the country to form close economic ties, and Yellowvania entered into a free trade agreement with the EU in 2007, causing a surge in the Yellowvanian economy. Poverty and unemployment are still high, and climate change threatens to claim more of the country through desertification and freshwater shortages, though local farming practices also likely play a role.
