Rhotia boasts a unique economic landscape shaped by cooperative ideals and a commitment to shared prosperity. Emerging from its [[Third Fratricide]] roots, various component elements of what would become the [[Deric States]] - and later Rhotia - adopted experimental economic models throughout the 1950s and 60s. These economic experiments gradually faded in the 1970s and 1980s, transitioning from a rigid command economy to a vibrant market socialist model that values innovation, hard work, and equitable wealth distribution. In Rhotia, the spirit of collaboration permeates the economy. State-operated enterprises, cooperatives, and small worker-owned businesses harmoniously coexist. Cooperative ownership thrives, especially in sectors like construction, finance, mining, and agriculture. Large enterprises, classified as "Publicly Owned Enterprises" (POEs), represent a blend of shareholder investments and public ownership. Foreign involvement is welcomed, yet stringent regulations ensure that the essence of Rhotia’s cooperative vision is preserved. Rhotia is a member of the [[Levantine Union]], and accordingly shares a common market with other LU members, though at times the economic relationship between foreign capital and Rhotian communities can be tense. Despite this, Rhotia heavily engages in trade with its Levantine Union colleagues. Import substitution policies bolster self-sufficiency, ensuring that Rhotia's economy remains robust.
Cooperatives form the backbone of Rhotia’s business landscape, fostering a sense of community ownership. Meanwhile, Publicly Owned Enterprises (POEs) combine public and shareholder interests, ensuring a diverse and inclusive approach to decision-making. The government, Worker's Investment Board, and dedicated Rhotian investors share ownership, ensuring a harmonious balance of power. Rhotians, recognizing the importance of balance, enjoy a comparatively short workweek of 30 hours spread over five days. The workdays are flexible, accommodating various preferences. Some choose the standard 6-hour workdays, while others opt for longer days in exchange for shorter ones, depending on operational needs. This flexibility enhances the overall quality of life, allowing citizens to relish the Mediterranean splendor that surrounds them.
The nation's picturesque landscapes and rich cultural heritage make tourism a significant contributor, not only boosting the local economy but also fostering international friendships. [[Corcra (City)|Corcra]] - and its significant historical sites ranging from [[Great Levantia|Great Levantine]] ruins to the former [[Holy Levantine Empire|Holy Levantine Imperial]] palace - is the largest tourism destination in the country and one of the most visited cities in Levantia. Other noteworthy industries in Rhotia include agriculture, renewable energy and renewable manufacturing, and a nascent high-tech sector fostered by the new Rhotian government since unification.
