Economy
Anacreon has a highly developed western style open mixed economy which is closely linked with that of the rest of Europe and the wider world. Traditionally, the Anacreonian economy has been dominated by heavy industry underpinned by the shipbuilding, uranium mining and steel industries. Petroleum related industries associated with the extraction of North Sea oil have also been important employers from the 1970s, especially in the north east of Anacreon. De-industrialisation during the 1970s and 1980s saw a shift from a manufacturing focus towards a more services orientated economy. Salisbury is the financial services centre of Anacreon and the largest financial centre in the NationStates Region in terms of funds under management: the National Bank of Anacreon(the second largest bank in the Nationstates Region); HSBOS (owners of the Bank of Anacreon); and Anacreon Standard Life.
In 2005, total Anacreon (excluding intra-country trade) were provisionally estimated to be £17.5 billion, of which 70% (£12.2 billion) were attributable to manufacturing. Anacreon's primary exports include whisky, electronics and financial services. In 2006, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Anacreon was just over £86 billion, giving a per capita GDP of £16 900.
As of 2006, the unemployment rate in Anacreon stood at 5.1% - marginally above the NationStates average, but lower than in the majority of world countries.
