Stephen said, "It'll take too long. Celestial City is a financial hub. If these businesses leave, it'll lose at least a third of its GDP."

Celestial City originally had a GDP of 2.5 trillion, but they gave 350 billion dollars to the South Regent as ransom. Then, a few companies left, and they lost another 150 billion. Now, only 2 trillion dollars remained.
