Environment issues: rapid population growth pressuring the environment; over harvesting of timber, expansion of cattle grazing, and slash-and-burn agriculture have resulted in deforestation and soil exhaustion; civil war depleted natural resources; overfishing; oil pollution - water, air, and soil has suffered serious damage from oil spills.

Economy - overview:
Oil-rich Khalisee, suffering from political instability, corruption, inadequate infrastructure, and poor macroeconomic management, is unable to diversify the economy away from its overdependence on the capital-intensive oil sector, which provides 20% of GDP, 95% of foreign exchange earnings, and about 80% of budgetary revenues.

The largely subsistence agricultural sector has failed to keep up with rapid population growth and the country, once a large net exporter of food, now must import food.

With the increase of Rebel aggression in Khalisee, the diamond export trade has officially stopped due to the U.N. resolution in regards to Conflict Diamonds. Virtually all the income from Conflict Diamonds goes to funding Rebel groups or corrupt Government Officials, so the Khalisee diamond trade adds very little to the economy.

Agriculture - products: rice, coffee, cocoa, palm kernels, palm oil, peanuts; poultry, cattle, sheep, pigs; fish, rubber, timber.

Industries: Diamond mining; small-scale manufacturing (beverages, textiles, cigarettes, footwear); petroleum refining, small commercial ship repair, 419 Scams

Illicit drugs : Khalisee is a transit point for heroin and cocaine intended for European, East Asian, and North American markets; consumer of amphetamines; safe haven for narcotraffickers operating worldwide; major money-laundering center; massive corruption and criminal activity.
