Manufacturing in Pelinai (Pacifica)

Manufacturing in Pelinai is a significant portion of the Pelinese economy, accounting for 35.7% of its GDP in 2022 and a large fraction of its economic growth during the 21st century. It encompasses a diverse portfolio of production sectors, many of which are advanced technology industries that employ a large amount of college-educated workers and offer a high degree of value added. Some of its most significant products include steel, semiconductors, computers & consumer electronics, aircraft, ships, automobiles, petroleum products, and manufacturing equipment; other industries with some degree of importance include wood products and the pulp and paper industry.

Despite its possession of a modestly sized manufacturing sector since the mid-1840s and early experiments with sectors such as aircraft production, the Pelinese economy remained largely agriculture-based throughout the 19th century and most of the 20th. The Pelinese industrial base in its modern form was established gradually during the period from the late 1980s to the early 1990s, when the Pelinese government invested substantial amounts of resources into manufacturing in order to reestablish its economy after the Pelinese Civil War and supply materials for the ongoing repair and construction of infrastructure. The Pelinese state’s involvement and priorities in this early establishment remains evident in the modern composition of the Pelinese manufacturing sector, which possesses a high presence of heavy industrial firms and a larger fraction of state-owned enterprises than other sectors of the economy.

Sectors

Metals

Pelinai possesses a significant ore processing and metal alloy production complex, aided both by high domestic demand from other manufacturing sectors and by easy access to a wide variety of raw materials produced by the Pelinese mining industry. The industry as defined by the Pelinese Ministry of Economics includes factories involved in the processing of metal ores, the fabrication of both steel and nonferrous metal semi-finished casting products, and/or their subsequent shaping into primary forms (bar stock, plates, and tubes); integrated steel mills and other factories that further process metal into finished products such as I-beams and railway rails are also included.

Much of the Pelinese metal processing industry is concentrated in the region of western Stelossia, particularly in the city of Korolyeviya and its surrounding metropolitan area.

Nonferrous metals

The production of nonferrous metals and alloys, including aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, copper alloys, superalloys, and others, is a major component of the Pelinese metal processing sector by revenue and a critical source of basic raw materials used by other sectors of the Pelinese manufacturing industry. Its principal industrial customers include a wide range of construction, aerospace, shipbuilding, electronics, automotive, petrochemicals, and machine-building companies both in Pelinai and abroad, and the export of both nonferrous metal alloys and their derived products is a significant fraction of Pelinai’s manufacturing export revenue.

Pelinai has attained status as a world leader in the design and production of specialty aluminum alloys in particular, such as Aluminum-lithium and aluminum-scandium alloys used for demanding applications in aerospace and other fields. Its aluminum processing sector makes extensive use of the latest technology in manufacturing high-performance alloys of such types in a safe and economical manner, allowing for their extensive application in other Pelinese manufacturing products such as civil and military aircraft.

Shipbuilding

The Pelinese shipbuilding industry has achieved significant growth in both manufacturing capacity and market share since its low point in the early 1980s, and manufactures the full range of vessel types for both commercial and government customers. Growth has largely been sustained through the increase in commercial demand for cargo vessels to transport goods into and out of Pelinai’s expanding economy, as well as a slow rise in military contracts to produce new patrol cutters, surface combatants, military submarines, and other vessels. Smaller vessel types now produced at large scale in Pelinai include barges, pusher boats, tugboats, fishing vessels, and private leisure craft, while larger types include bulk carriers, container ships, feeder ships, and tanker ships.

Defense

The materiel needs of the Pelinese Armed Forces and its branches support a diverse and well-equipped defense industrial base in Pelinai, capable of manufacturing all aspects of military supply from uniforms, long-lasting rations, and small arms to complex systems such as air defense missile batteries, armored fighting vehicles, and precision-guided munitions. Pelinai is additionally a major supply country for police weaponry, as well as civilian-owned firearms, small arms ammunition, and related accessories for hunting, target shooting, self defense, and other purposes.

Pelinai possesses one of the highest capacities for constructing field artillery pieces in the world, as well as artillery shells and spare parts. Pelinese-manufactured artillery systems such as the AP-104 make full use of advanced manufacturing techniques and materials to minimize carriage mass, as well as modern computerized fire control systems not found on previous Pelinese field artillery guns, while ammunition production has developed the capacity to economically produce guided artillery shells at scale. The Pelinese defense-industrial complex is believed to have an approximate maximum yearly production capacity of 1.7 million 105mm artillery shells, 2.8 million 155mm artillery shells, 400 105mm gun-howitzer barrels, and 1,100 155mm howitzer barrels, along with an unknown capacity to manufacture new guns. The largest center of production is located in Yarimaka, Stelossia, along with several secondary sites in Loshkaria, Stelossia, Yukisora, and Sevaria, while major manufacturers include Yarimaka Artillery Foundry and Black River Arsenal.
