Even in Romania, the Tiaoman enterprises' pursuit of excessive profits led to severe local resentment towards the Tiaoman Empire.
Many of the problems in the Luosha Democratic Republic also related to oil, or rather, energy.
In order to purchase oil and natural gas from the Luosha Democratic Republic at lower prices, the Tiaoman Empire, leveraging its status as a victorious or occupying nation, controlled and manipulated the economy of the Luosha Democratic Republic, dictating its industrial types, leading to its distorted industrial structure.
The Luosha Democratic Republic, with a population of 80 million, possessed the largest heavy industry among the West Continent Group but lacked light industries that directly determine the standard of living, as well as severely lacking in high-tech industries such as electronics, resulting in heavy dependency on the West Continent Group in many aspects.
