Sorhaithe's mineral wealth, both in iron, {{wp|Tungsten|Wolframite}} and later fossil fuels, directly resulted in the area being retained by the Republic of the Fhainn after the Second Great War; the post-[[Rose Revolution]] government under [[Cillac Bataís]] went as far as negoitiating away the entirety of the provinces of [[Sioc Siar]] and [[Gathlann]], the latter of which previously connected Sorhaithe to the rest of the metropole, to retain the most oil-rich areas of Sorhaithe itself. The fossil fuels industry, particularly petroleum, is a significant part of the provincial economy and is only partially supplemented by sporting tourism, fishing, and wood products; however, the improvement of rail lines connecting the trinational region around Saelin has somewhat invigorated the local economy since the 1980s.

Fossil fuels extraction and proccessing is the primary economic driver and export of the province, and petrol from the Saelish oil fields is sold in both crude and refined forms to Caeric, Fiannrian, and Vithinjian energy and fuel companies. Pipelines through Caergwynn also transport oil to southern Faneria. Tourism, industrial fishing, and wood products make up the moajority of the remaining local economy, with additions from wool ranching and glazing businesses which underwent significant declines in the 20th Century as a result of physical separation from and competition in Faneria proper.

The population of Saelin is majority-Saelish (Fhs. ''Saelifhainn''), with the indigenous gaelic community composing about 56% of the population; another thirty percent are ''Marfhainn'' or ''Sheafhainn'', with notable Caeric and Faeskt minorities. Most of the population is concentrated along the coast, with an 84% urbanization rate largely due to the poor farming properties of the region, a fishing-dependent food economy, and a growth in immigrant labor since the late 1800s in response to the discovery of oil fields under the Isles. This has been exacerbated by a predominantly train-based transport sector in the region due both to terrain and comfort.

The largest settlements in the province are the capital, Igar Dun, Galnea, and Saelaer, the former two of which both rest on the coast of the mainland.
