New Harren's economy is considered "moderately strong" by most global metrics especially considering the relative poverty of other nations and territories in northern [[Crona]]. Much of its economy is centered around the extraction of uranium and other fissile materials discovered during the [[War of the Northern Confederation]], but the heavy presence of the [[Armed Forces of the Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea]] within the country also serves as a major boost to the economy. As of 2017, the Kingdom had a GDP of $453,042,192,195, bringing its GDP per capita to $22,401; the GDP per capita declined somewhat with the incorporation of the former [[Nysdra Provisional Republic]] to $20,884, but the GDP increased overall. | New Harren's economy is considered "moderately strong" by most global metrics especially considering the relative poverty of other nations and territories in northern [[Crona]].

There are significant GDP PC disparities throughout the Kingdom based on constituency, with the Rectory of New Harren by far being the largest driver of growth within the realm. | ||
Much of New Harren's economy is centered on its capital city of Port St. Charles, which is emerging as one of the major financial and diplomatic hubs of northern [[Crona]] in the aftermath of the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. The city is largely the center of the nation's transportation infrastructure, and also houses a major international airport which sees the most traffic of any city on the [[Nysdra]]. New Harren has relatively limited surface transportation infrastructure, largely limited to major road and rail networks within the Rectory of New Harren itself. The Rectory's existing network connects with an ad hoc system of paved roads throughout the remaining constituent parts of the realm, and rail transportation into the interior is functionally non-existent. The Grand Council negotiated and finally enacted the Surface Transportation Reform Act of [[2023]] following serious allied logistical problems in the [[Final War of the Deluge]] caused by the nation's lack of a major transportation system. The STRA allocates funding for the creation of a unified highway and railway system throughout the country, which has been under construction since [[2025]]. Accordingly, construction services make up a large part of New Harren's economy as of [[2029]]. Economists anticipate, once completed, the unified highway and railway system will generate billions of dollars of economic activity within New Harren and will play an important role in unifying the realm's economy. | Much of New Harren's economy is centered on its capital city of Port St. Charles, which is emerging as one of the major financial and diplomatic hubs of northern [[Crona]] in the aftermath of the [[Final War of the Deluge]].
