China and the Philippines are where you would find most of the ore needed to make the high quality steel. Not only does Southeast and East Asia have mineral ore but they also have gems such as sapphires, rubies, and pearls. Trees that are used in building ships and furniture, like Teak, are also in Asia.
    There are a very wide variety of minerals and other resources that you would be able to find in Southeast and East Asia. Minerals like chromium, manganese, nickel, and tungsten are used for high quality steel and can all be found in Asia. You would not be able to make rockets or lightbulbs without the mineral that is mined in Asia called tungsten. There are also gems found in Southeast and East Asia that can be sold for a good profit.
