Line 107 ⟶ 97:
==Economy==
=== National broadcaster ===
The [[High Kingdoms Broadcasting Company]] (HKBC) is a federal entity that is controlled by the independent [[High Broadcasting Union]], but funded by the government and is therefore politically neutral and a {{WPlink|state broadcaster}}. It also owns state-level broadcasters in each constituent countries, which then in-turn also control more regional state broadcasters. Due to federal law requiring a state broadcaster, most state-level budgeting is controlled federally, with management being relatively independent and under scrutiny of each devolved government. For example, [[ENTV]] is the state-level broadcaster of the HKBC in Empherias and although it is a subsidary of the HKBC and is therefore controlled by the federal government, the Empheri government own the [[Empheri Broadcasting Guidance Regulator|'Empheri Broadcasting Guidance Regulator' (EBGR)]] which regulates TV in Empherias and controls general management of ENTV.
=== Transport ===
Railway lines are either publicly or privately owned. Publicly owned railways are controlled by a devolved department (e.g Ministry of Transport in Empherias) with zero shareholders or private competition, while privately owned railways are owned by private corporations for profit. All railway track is owned federally. For lines that cross borders, they may be either privately owned, assigned to the state where the line departs, or owned federally. All high-speed rail is managed by the federal government.
=== Telecommunications ===
Federal law demands that guidelines be met on access to the internet, phone lines, public phoneboxes, data, etc with regulations and standards. Furthermore, a part of the GDP is put towards research and development. State law can dictate in which those guidelines are met, and impose additional regulations on them. (e.g in Empherias, a government-owned telecommunications company manages all public phone boxes, provides it's own internet and broadband service for non-profit to rival commercial businesses and subsidies a base level internet access for people on benefits)
Federal law demands that guidelines be met on safety procedures, energy standards (e.g Hz, plugs, etc), environmental goals and thus the percentages of energy produced by renewable means, etc. The federal law can also issue injunctions to stop any given power plant in which construction is controlled by devolved governments. State law can dictate the construction of new energy plants for renewables, but must gain federal consent for construction of nuclear and non-renewable energy sources. Excess energy in an individual state will be under the jurisdiction of the federal government to transfer to other states or be exported externally to other countries.
=== Water ===
Federal law demands that guidelines be met on safety procedures, number of reservoirs built and in use, the quality and upkeep of the sewerage system, environmental standards, drinking quality and water supply. Furthermore, the federal government can issue a state of emergency in regards to the regulation of water during floods and droughts which will allow certain powers to be moved away from the state governments into the federal government. State law can dictate where these reservoirs and sewers are built, where water filtration and pumping systems are built and staffed, and during non-emergency times, can vary in regulation and usage.
