The economy of the Seneca Islands is considered to be {{wp|developing economy|developing}}. Prior to the Final War of the Deluge, the Senecas were among the most prosperous parts of [[Varshan]], with a modern shipbuilding sector serving as the impetus for a large urban service sector and adjacent industries. However, the normal effects of war - disruption of trade and economic activity, bombing, military needs outstripping civilian market needs - combined with the [[Atomic bombing of Zakan Rot|atomic bombing of Zakan Rot]] led to the complete implosion of the Senecas economy between [[2020]] and [[2024]]. Virtually all productive service sector firms closed after the bombing, either due to significant loss of assets or because of lack of customers. Between [[2022]] and [[2024]], most large scale economic activity virtually ceased during the occupation, and most economic interactions took the form of barter exchanges. In 2022 and every year thereafter until about [[2032]], the Seneca Islands were the largest recipient of Urcean aid per capita of any location in the world, as most food as well as finished goods needed to be imported to the islands until [[2026]]. The economic conditions (as well as the bombing-related public health effects) precipitated a massive outmigration of refugees to [[New Harren]] and abroad, easing the need for aid somewhat but collapsing the availability of local labor. Economic reconstruction efforts, combined with cash infusions from currency exchange, also eased the economic crisis. By [[2034]], the islands had recovered to roughly 60% of their pre-war territorial domestic product. | The economy of the Seneca Islands is considered to be {{wp|developing economy|developing}}.

The bombing of Zakan Rot had the effect of completely reorienting the economic center of the islands. Zakan Rot sits on the strait between the two Senecas and, necessarily, sat at the center of the islands' transportation networks. Its bombing, however, led to Enuzha'Thaan (at the southeastern tip of West Seneca) becoming the major economic hub in the vacuum producted by the bombing. The placement of the Urcean administrative headquarters at Enuzha'Thaan accelerated its meteoric rise within Seneca economic life. This reorientation necessitated major reconstruction of the road and rail networks to accomodate additional traffic to and from the city, creating a micro [[improvement economy]]-style development phase in West Seneca between [[2027]] and [[2031]]. Enuzha'Thaan has now fully supplanted Zakan Rot as the economic heart of the Seneca Islands, and most major investors have abandoned Zakan Rot for Enuzha'Thaan. | The bombing of Zakan Rot had the effect of completely reorienting the economic center of the islands.
