ECONOMY IN BOOM AS SMALL AND LARGE BUSINESSES FLOURISH
The nations economy is the strongest it has been in 3 centuries, with a below 2% unemployment rate, and a now large and diversified job market.
The repeal of the nations longstanding anti tech and anti outsider ideals seems to have been the strongest propellant for this surge of success, with 50% of the market belonging to companies founded or run by those originally not from Songjiang.
The Songjiang housing market has also boomed with a focus on wealthy buyers inside and outside Songjiang with Songjiangs many Mason guilds building palaces fit for a prince with the intent to sell to those with the wealth and desire to own these palatial homes.
The ship building industry is also booming with a cruise liner about to be finished and 5 light carriers in production 2 intended for export.
Some Traditionalist claim this change is happening to fast or is against the ancient traditions but they are the minority"
Songjiangs traditions seem to have given it a leg up in the world market its culture of obsession with perfection chief among those. Songjiang has gained a reputation for creating reliable products at a fairly low price even if those products can sometimes take a bit longer to complete. The Songjiang modeling, and tourisum industry is also quickly growing do to the nations extremely high percentage of attractive people, though its cultural tendency to distrust those who are imperfect (unattractive) has ruffled a few feathers.
