Consider Trading, foritfication , agriculture and raw materials.

And what would be it's outlook on gobal relations (semi-isolationist. ect.) Consider your nearest neighbor (America)

I'll bite.
Mind you I don't know much about these types of games.

If I was to choose a state, it would be a small island nation. Maybe less than 5 million in population.

First and foremost, I would try to get a distant power to ensure my countries security and livelihood against larger powers.
Might have to offer either my nation as a strategic location in terms of trade, a tourism center, nutraceuticals, genetics, IT and clean energy.

Infrastructure would be built up by local contractors. I'd concentrate on using money from tourism and channeling it into a fund for infrastructural development.

I'd coordinate with other states in tourism (I'd emphasize and organize tourism all over my island or designated spots for humble locals attractions to complement hotels) to get customers flowing from one island to another. We'd all eat by playing to our strengths.
I'd also coordinate on foreign policy to maximize our teamwork and play off larger nations.

I'd structure society with military and volunteer service to make discipline ingrained like Israel maybe.
I'd have a democratic republic.
I'd have a market economy.
We definitely would not be isolationist.

As for immigration, I'd want to have people who wanted to become part of my nation badly, showed initiative for ways to build up the country, be smart, and ready to show risks in creating businesses.
