The Propýrgian economy improved massively from 1980-2005, due to many new industries becoming established.

In 1980, the government passed the Renewable Future bill, which provided massive grants towards Renewable Energy research, and started mass production of Solar Panels, Wind Turbines and Wave Energy Generators. The bill was very successful and by 2010 XX% of the energy consumed by Propyrgía was generated from renewable sources.

Shipbuilding
Shipbuilding has been a prominent industry in Propyrgía since the ancient times. Most of the shipyards are located in XXXX bay in the east. The large shipyards (the ones that build Navy ships and Cargo vessels) are fully or partially state owned, but there are also a few private shipyards that specialize in smaller vessels. After the end of the Civil War, Propyrgía entered in a partnership with Chezzetcook to rejuvenate the Propýrgian shipping industry and cooperate in expanding the size and reach of the Propýrgian Navy.

Shipping
Shipping has been the main industry since the founding of the Thalássian City-States in the ancient times. Initially, Propyrgía acted as a trading hub in the Easter Eurybian, but after the loss of the northern lands in the XXth century, shipping began to expand to all of the Eurybian and to the Northern Tethys Ocean.

Medicine
Medicine is a fairly new industry, with the first factories being set up in the early 1970s. There was a high demand for cheap medicines by DoH, which led the government into establishing the first factories. However, the medicine sold well in international markets, which led to a massive expansion of the industry. This was partly done as part of the government's attempt to rejuvenate the economy of the northern region.

Religion

Cuisine

In the north, the cuisine is a blend northern Greek and Slavic.

The staple crops in Propyrgía are oranges, olives and grapes.

Cooperation
One of the cornerstones of Propýrgian society is cooperation and assistance between people. Charity is highly valued and there are a high number of Propýrgian NGOs. These NGOs recieve funding and assistance from the government, but it is written in the constitution that the government cannot use its donations and assistance to attempt to infuence the actions of the NGOs.

The largest NGO is Doctors of Humanity (DoH). It was initially founded during the Civil War in order to provide medical care to soldier and civilians on both sides. After the Civil War ended, DoH began offering its services to both participants of the Kesh War, and has been present at every conflict and major health crisis in Anterra, either assisting or leading medical efforts.
