Lariana is generally described as having a {{wp|Social market economy|social market economy}} with high levels of development. The Larianan economy is deeply integrated within the [[Economy of Urcea|economy of Urcea]]; it shares the same currency, has no trade restrictions or customs barriers of any kind, and to some extent is subject to the same regulations and consumer protections as Urcea, though to a lesser degree. Lariana is also increasingly becoming integrated with [[Caphiria]]'s various [[Urlazio]] provinces, and has become a crucial transshipment and general point of exchange between Levantia and Sarpedon's largest economies. Accordingly, Lariana is highly urbanized; with that urbanization, Lariana has become the home of many major corporations, either through corporate headquarters or major regional offices. In addition to urban corporate centers - and their related industries such as transportation and the amenity-based service sector - Lariana benefits significantly from the tourism sector. It is a popular destination for [[Caphiria]]ns and Urlazic [[Cartadania]]ns to visit and experience parts of [[Culture of Urcea|Urcean culture]] without needing to travel abroad. The remnants of [[Adonerum|the Ancient Adonerii civilization]] draw large numbers of [[Urcea]]n and international tourists, especially to well-preserved [[Adonerum#Society_and_culture|Arxi]] quaint small towns. Lariana has few exports. In antiquity, the island was known to produce copper, but most prominent mines were exhausted by the late medieval period. | Lariana is generally described as having a {{wp|Social market economy|social market economy}} with high levels of development.

Lariana has a sizable motion picture, television, and literary publishing industry that has grown since [[1984]]. In many respects, Lariana functions as a cultural filter through which content is exchanged between [[Urcea]] and Caphiria. Lariana's cultural productions are typically adaptations of one country's material - be it movies, shows, games, or books - for the tastes of the audience of the other country; for example, the Urcean television series ''[[Final_Great_War#Television_series|Final Great War]]'' was adapted into a two-part movie series for Caphiric audiences called "''After the Consequences''" with the setting changed to [[Sarpedon]] and certain themes adapted for Caphiric audience expectations and tastes. The firms related to these products have greatly thrived since the end of the [[Occidental Cold War]]. These industries, based in the city of Casina, attract thousands of actors, producers, and production staff (as well as publishers and writers) from both Urcea and Caphiria every year, and they produce billions of dollars of economic benefits for Lariana. Casina is generally viewed to be a place where young up-and-coming actors travel to break into film before going to their respective country's more established film industry, or where declining actors past their prime have a place to comfortably continue their career. | Lariana has a sizable motion picture, television, and literary publishing industry that has grown since [[1984]].

Casina has generally managed to break expectations that {{wp|globalization}} would render it obsolete due to unifying Occidental audience tastes; in many cases, Casina plays a key role in allowing some content to break through the [[Censor (Urcea)|Urcean]] and [[Magistrates_of_Caphiria#Censores|Caphiric Censorship]] systems, accounting for its continued relevance. | ||
