This system of economics was developed by Pyotr Haeverst with the sole purpose of creating an economic system that was stable and would be in the long term efficient and beneficial for the people of the North Shurkan Union.
The government has influence in certain "strategic" industries such as transportation, energy, communication, and healthcare, In these industries, the government has a lot of oversight in its planning and day to day business due to their importance.
Throughout its history the North Shurkan Union's economy has always been centered around heavy industry and manufacturing, though in recent times this has changed (due to the end of the Second Shurku War). The next ten years after the close of the conflict, the economy shifted more from wartime heavy manufacturing to the civilian service and financial sectors.
