The economy of Cartadania is a highly developed mixed economy with state-ownership in strategic areas. It has the second-largest national economy in Sarpedon, the fifth-largest by nominal GDP in the world, and fourth by GDP (PPP). In 2028, the country accounted for 77% of the Real and UNESARP area economy, giving it the largest proportionate economic responsibility of any country currently in a real union. Though historically quite sensitive to global business cycles, the economy of Cartadania has shown robust growth since the start of the industrial era. The country has a very high standard of living compared with other Sarpedonian countries, and a strongly integrated welfare system.
Cartadania is one of the most technologically powerful and innovative economies in the world. Its firms are at or near the forefront in technological advances, especially in artificial intelligence, computers, pharmaceuticals, and medical, aerospace, and military equipment. The largest Cartadanian trading partners are Bulkh, the Levantine Union, Caphiria, Ceylonia, Kiravia, Pelaxia (via UNESARP), Umardwal, and Volonia. The economy of Cartadania is the second-largest manufacturing economy in Sarpedon, and it is less likely to be affected by a financial downturn. The country conducts applied research with practical industrial value and sees itself as a bridge between the latest university insights and industry-specific product and process improvements. It generates a great deal of knowledge in its own laboratories.
