Sydona has a an upper-middle income transitional mixed economy with a large public sector.
Sydona has a diversified economy with strong tertiary and quaternary sectors built atop robust export-oriented agricultural, mining, and fishing industries, a well-educated workforce, and high levels of social spending. The islands are the primary access point to the wider Kiravian economy in southeast Ixnay, supporting a strong trade and manufacturing base. Behind the major mainland states of [[Kiygrava]], [[Cascada]], and [[Devalōmara]], Sydona is the largest Kiravian state in Ixnay in terms of total export value. Most heavy industry is concentrated on Érdoran, especially in the Destransar and Ádrasca metropolitan areas. Key industrial products include steel, mechanical and electrical components, ships and boats, æroplanes and components thereof, composite materials, and consumer durables. Ærospace is a growing industry in the islands: Two Kiravian and one [[North Amerigo|Amerigan]] æroplane manufacturers operate production facilities on Érdoran, and the Kiravian [[Federal Spaceflight Authority]] is constructing a launch platform on Manētuva for the deployment of satellites.

The state is currently undergoing a major construction boom due to the increased demand for housing spurred by immigration from Great Kirav to the achipelago's major metropolitan areas, as well as increased demand for commercial real estate driven by the CPP government's pro-development ordoliberal policies. A number of artificial islands are being added to the archipelago by [[Absurrania|UIF]] and Kiravian contractors to increase the amount of land available for residential and industrial development in the face of "green zone" laws backed by strong agrarian interests in the state government.


Owing to the islands' strategic location, the [[Kiravian Forces]] maintain a large presence in Sydona. The state is home to five major Federal military reservations: Manētuva Naval Base, Fort Liberance, Fort Candrin, Mætrēsar Army Airbase, and Avogadrón Airbase, as well as a number of smaller installations for military communications, reconnaisance and monitoring, and strategic weaponry. These facilities and the military personnel stationed at them have been a significant boon to the local economy, generating consumption, revenue, and employment.
