Traditional Commerce
] As it is for religion, it is for money. Traditional life in Shmuel Rabinovitch is tied to the sea. Fishing is now and has always been an important part of Shmuel Rabinovitch. The nation's largest employers happen to be two of the regions largest seafood companies, Shmueli International and Daliah's Akko. Other foreign companies also use Shmueli labor to fish the nation's plentiful coastline. Whereas now the nation makes a great deal of money through international seafood sales, previous generations saw fishing as a means of sustenance, though rarely a lucrative field. In order to preserve the fish long enough for foreign consumption, mariners would need to travel perhaps as far as the Western Spur for salt, which was not easily procured in the cold climate of Shmuel Rabinovitch. Until modern advances, the fishing industry and the nation as a whole remain relatively isolated, with few goods to offer the wealthy southern nations, who at any rate were a prohibitive distance away.
Modern Industries
Though not a wealthy nation by any standard, Shmuel Rabinovitch has made great economic strides in the last few years, spurred by healthy participation in the FTO and POECD. Recently the nation has become a greater regional supplier for consumer goods, most notably seafood, but also various native alcoholic beverages. Katzir Vodka has become a popular drink among many young New Americans, and Feldenkrais, though derided by many for its sticky sweetness, is nevertheless a famous and sometimes popular wine in the region. As for well-to-do commercial advancements, many of the nations former automotive manufacturers have abandoned that failing industry and adopted a line of work more suitable for this nation: the manufacture of personal and commercial watercraft. This would would prove to be a wise decision. The market for such craft has taken off, and many expect it should become the nation's primary employer and principal moneymaker within a few years.
