Sudmoll, officially the Burgoignesc Trade Island Province of Sudmoll, is an island in the western Okatian Sea. It shares a maritime border with Stenza which has often led to complications with that nation (Sudmoll Island Conflicts).
It has a small population of 18,510 residents, outside of the naval/Revenue Guard station and Foreign Legion outpost. On average there are approximately 50-100 Revenue Guardsman, 3-5,000 naval personnel, and 3,500-4,000 legionnaires stationed on the military facilities on Sudmoll. The capital and largest town on the island, Oparo Nui, is home to around 4,730 people in it's city limits, which spans 12.6 sq km. The metro area consists of two villages, Pasquavil with 1,748 people, and Oparo Iti with 1,329 people. The remainder of the population lives in a rural environment.

Template:Infobox Port The primary economic engine of Sudmoll is the military installations. Secondly is the port which is just north of the capital. Port Nova Martillia is a small container port that can accommodate two feeder sized ships at once. It is used to export the agricultural goods from the island but also to supply the locals with sustenance since the island is not self-sufficient. Since opening relations with Stenza the port has increased its activity almost twofold. Smaller packet freighters are a much more common sight. Almost all of the meager exports from Sudmoll now go to markets in Stenza.
Tourism is a significant industry.
The main trading partners are the Burgoignesc Metropole for about 40% of imports and about 25% of exports. The other main trading partners are Stenza, Caphiria, and Pelaxia.
Unemployment affects about 13% of the active population, especially women and unqualified young people.

Energy and electricity
Sudmoll imports its petroleum and has no local refinery or production. Civilian daily consumption of imported oil products was 5,430 barrels in 2025, which constitutes 70% of energy generation for the island's inhabitants. A waste-to-energy plant was constructed in 2003 and provides the remaining 30% of power generation. It also consumes about 83% of the waste generated on the island. The syngas byproduct is increasingly becoming one of Sudmoll's most valuable exports.
Through an infrastructure investment grant, the Levantine Union has committed ₮8 million to construct tidal power generators, but the project is currently stalled by local fishermen who are concerned about the disturbances the generators will cause to their livelihood. The project is still expected to move forward and the projected completion date is 2029. A feasibility study was conducted and determined that solar would be unreliable due to the long monsoon seasons, and nuclear was too expensive for the demand.
