Although the retaining wall on the cliffs was being built during the hostilities, it wasn't until the hostilities eased that Fort Liberty built its first homes and government buildings. Afterwards, multiple terrace farms were constructed as well as the governor's house.
Although the retaining wall on the cliffs was being built during the hostilities, it wasn't until the hostilities eased that Fort Liberty built its first homes and government buildings. These new buildings were a great improvement compared to the poorly fortified bunker and mine-shaft that had kept the settlers safe in the beginning. Soon after these buildings were finished, a terrace farm was build into the hillside and a dock was constructed for visitors and residents.


=== Freelands Province ===
=== Freelands Province ===
After establishing contact with Rambete and shtim from the Republic of Entrana, an agreement was made between the two nations that made Freelands an official province of Entrana. Fort Liberty became a free city per the agreement; exempt from taxes but still subordinate to the Republic. Soon after, a road was built between the capital and Fort Liberty to establish a safe route between the two cities.

=== Military Build-up ===
=== Military Build-up ===
Following increased regional tensions in mid-August of 2018, the citizens of Fort Liberty realized that war may be inevitable and that the province would be incapable of defending itself. To remedy this, three guard towers were constructed along with the Entrana Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) to help identify threats to the province and the greater republic. Citizens also worked towards upgrading their personal weapons and armor.

Luckily, tensions eased and the threat of invasion was decreased, leaving Fort Liberty much safer and better equipped to deal with conflict in the future should it ever arrive at its shores.

An outpost does exist to the north of the town, but its main purpose is to guard the canal and function as a fallback position if the town is attacked. No citizens are permanently stationed there.

The Republic of Freelands has a strong agricultural sector whose main products are apples, sugar, and wheat. The climate limits the growth of other crops and the lack of animals in the area has prevented the production of meat and other animal-related goods except for eggs and chicken.

=== Lumber/Energy ===
The hills of Freelands are dense with vegetation which provide a large amount of oak and birch lumber for the nation. This lumber can then be converted for use in construction/tools, or for making charcoal which powers the factories and smelters of Fort Liberty.

=== Brewing ===
Fort Liberty recently constructed a brewery run by the Brown Brewing Company to make drinks for the republic. So far, the company has not produced any batches yet as it is still experimenting with distillation and ageing techniques.

=== Notable Companies ===
Fort Liberty is home to a few companies which are Atlas Industrials, Brown Brewing Company, and Fort Liberty Ironworks. These companies supply the town with capital goods like factories, drinks, tools, and weaponry. Most of their business is done within the town or Entrana, but there is interest in forming trade agreements with nearby nations to expand business and bring new goods to the shores of the province.
