Laws shaping growth
Velinor's laws don't just shift opinion — some of them speed up or slow down particular industries every month. Only laws currently set away from a neutral position appear here; every other law leaves growth alone.

Figures are annual percentage points added to (or taken off) that industry's growth rate for as long as the law stands — they stack with the global rate for the industry shown above. Greyed-out industries aren't part of Velinor's economy, so those impacts do nothing here until the sector exists. Change the law and the effect changes with it — see Velinor's laws.
