Economy

Energy
Despite numerous protests, Jääland mostly uses nuclear power as wind power and hydropower combined don't provide enough for residents. Jääland also lacks fossil fuels domestically and so these must be imported from elsewhere. This includes uranium for nuclear power.
Transport
Public transport is difficult to operate in the country especially in the north. Jääland, therefore, has an extensive road system mostly used by internal cargo and passenger traffic. Hellistelli International Airport is the main international gateway with the airport serving as the hub of Air Jääland.
Industry
Jääland's main industry is steel production and its main trading partner is the Florian Republic with both exchanging goods regularly. Both countries operate a free trade and movement agreement with each other.

Football is not a popular sport in Jääland compared to other countries in Apollonia and the sport is played on an amateur basis.
Foreign relations
Due to its location, Jaaland has little foreign relations. In order to function it relies on the Florian Republic for aid. There have been numerous calls for Jaaland to join the Raspur Pact as membership benefits would boost the micronation's potential with the rest of Micras. It is yet unclear however if Jaaland will apply for the alliance.
