Taxes- With income tax virtually nonexistant within the Federal Republic, several other secretive taxes have been taken. Not so much a secret anymore due to the Public Information Act of 2012 in which any wages garnished for government use must be explained in limited detail to the person in which the funds are being taken. This has led to people being allowed to send their money where they want to.
Economy:
Breif Summary-
The Federal Republic of New York and New Jersey has seen an exceptionally slow year in development throughout the nation. Megrath Syndrome which has recently grippped several major industrial centers has grounded exports to human nations to absolutely zero. Government reports of the Syndrome under strict contaiment is welcomed news however and with recent pledge of scientific support from Menelmacar,Syskeyia and other nations economists are expecting a slow return to normal in the export of goods from the heavily industrialized NYNJ.
Economic Growth- .5%
Interest Rate- 8%
GDP-$170,559,994,582,131(exhcange rate 1 Federal Dollars=2.17 US Dollar)

Government Budget- $45,611,730,685,432
Debt External- 23 trillion FRD

Credit Rating- A1
The credit rating of the Federal Republic was recently improved and interest rates on debts have been restructed in order to help redevelopment of the industrial sector in the Federal Republic of New York and New Jersey

Imports- Crude Oil, Plastics, Wheat, Iron Ore, Copper Ore, finished goods, textiles.
Export Revenue- 9.34 trillion FRD
Import Expenditure- 8.96 trillion FRD
A growing concern within the Federal Republic is a visable trend in the gap between Imports Expenditure and Export Revenue that has been closing slowly. It is estimated that without new markets, or without an increased demand of exported goods from NYNJ the trade levels will become unbalanced against NYNJ.
Transportation:
Airports- 1,405
200 military-length is classified
1,205 civilian- 405 over 3,000m- 600 between 1,500m and 3,000km 200 below 1,500m

Canals and nautral waterways into New York help vessels and ships transport heavy cargos inland without the heavy dependance of trucks or rail. This has however cramped the development of railroads in NYnNJ. Highway development was spurred on by the military as a rapid transport system for heavy tracked vehicles, troops, and other equipment.
