For workers on the mainland, one of the biggest industries is the iron and steel industry, most especially in the state of Manzamal. However, compared to the juggernaut that is oil, the iron and steel industry lacks behind trade, and then oil. As apart of the PED however, this cannot stand. The steel and iron industry will require investments to turn it from just pure raw resources production and basic resource refinement, and more towards something worthy of respect for a modern economy. As such, the first step is of course, expanding steel production and iron mines. After all, nothing can be done if demand is low. Whether it be industrial grade steel or basic steel, production must be expanded.

Furthermore however, steel can't be the only usage of iron. A modern, efficient economy requires diversity. Iron will need to be used for machine parts, industrial tools, rail components, vehicle inputs and the like. Raw iron must be used for wider industrial capacity. Alongside this, steel usage must be expanded for domestic infrastructure and manufacturing to ensure stable internal domestic demand. Expanding production will of course, not only help local communities economically but also help the wider national economy, which also has the bonus effect of keeping workers away from extremist parties.

The goal is to, beyond supporting economic growth, provide new avenues for trade as it's more valuable to have more to export than just steel and raw iron alone. As state investments move into the iron and steel industries, blue collar workers across the country can celebrate for continued support into their jobs.
