The primary sector, which includes agriculture, mining, and energy and petroleum extraction, makes up 33% of the country's GDP, which play a crucial role in the country's self-sufficiency, as well as its status as a top agricultural and energy exporter. Most commonwealths specialize in the primary sector, with Teschego, Alcosky, Tansher, Auqali, and Anbarsnia being hotbeds for natural resources. while the arable land in Telohakee, Moscakee, Onancía, and Porvaos dominate the country's agricultural industry. The country's manufacturing sector makes up 12% of the total GDP, concentrated mainly in Ulunkheria, Qaleqa, and Las Rozas. Tierrador is one of the largest exporters globally, with export numbers totaling at $1.352 trillion.

Overview
Tierrador's commonwealths have a lot more control over their own economies, though it all contributes and is measured as one national economy. Tierrador's internal market is a single market, which allows for free movement of goods, capital, services, and labor. As a whole, Tierrador's GDP per capita of $71,726.72 is the second-largest in the world, only behind Cartadania and by a very narrow margin. Tierrador is the most economically advanced indigenous Cronan nation, and has consistently seen rapidly-increasing GDP growth rates since 1996. The country's economy is mainly backed by its resource-rich geography, and its strategic location in South Crona nudged between the Orixtal and Songun mixed with its overseas possessions in Teschego and the Saukhin Islands have opened up the country to various trade routes in the Southern hemisphere. Tierrador's credit rating is measured by Songun Credit Group and Western Mutual, the two-largest credit unions in the country, both giving the country an AAA rating with a stable outlook.
Tierrador is rich in many natural resources; including lithium, timber, petroleum and natural gas, and salt, along with having one of the largest amounts of arable land in the world. It ranks highly in the production and export of various cash crops, such as rice, cotton, cannabis, wheat, and coffee beans. The Rice Belt, a collective region comprised of Telohakee, Alcosky, Porvaos, and Moscakee, produces the largest amount of rice in Crona, earning it the title of Crona's Rice Bowl. Similarly, Tierrador features vast wheat yields of Telohakee, Teschego, and Ulunkheria, which are amongst the largest in Crona, along with Qaleqa, Alcosky, and Tansher's cannabis industry and the cotton producing commonwealths of Auqali, Aracadó, and Anbarsnia, which make Tierrador a chief exporter of agricultural products in Crona, along with many overseas markets in Kiravia, Vallos, and Audonia.
Manufactured goods, such as consumer electronics, motor vehicles and parts, telecommunications equipment, and chemicals make up 64% of all Tierradorian exports. Meanwhile, fuels and mining products, such as lithium, natural gas, iron ore, petroleum, iron ore, aluminum, and salt, make up 22% of Tierradorian exports, the bulk of this number coming from four major mining hotbeds in the Qalhéq and Wečas mountains, along with the extensive oil and natural gas deposits in the Gulf of Telohakee-Alcosky and the Okatian Sea near Teschego. Additionally, agricultural products such as rice, cotton, wheat, cannabis, coffee, and livestock, make up 14% of total Tierradorian exports, mainly exported to Kiravia, Porlos, Istrenya, Umardwal, Thervala, and Castadilla.
The National Bank of Tierrador and the Office of the Treasury are the chief instruments of control over financial and fiscal policy. They regulate many core components of the country's economy, including its currency, the Ponča. As of 2037, 1 Ponča is equal to 1.20 USD, or 0.94 Talers. They have consistently worked to keep inflation rates throughout Tierrador just under 5%, though recent executive administrations have oversaw small increases in the national rates.

Sectors
Primary
Agriculture
Tierrador's agricultural industry contributes around 11% of the total GDP and employs a little under 15 million people, about 9% of the national workforce. Historic Abioic societies were established with their main focus on agricultural self-sufficiency. Eventually, the rapid agricultural industrialization in the mid-1860s lead to heavy mechanization and advancement of the Tierradorian agriculture industry, which, in recent years, have given the country the description of a "neo-agrarian society." The country's agriculture industry is mainly concentrated on and around the many rivers and lakes throughout Tierrador and Teschego, which have provided enough water to irrigate one of the largest volumes of arable land in Crona, at over 820,000 square miles. Tierrador is a net exporter of many crops including rice, cotton, wheat, tea, and livestock, and has consistently had a self-sufficiency status in crops and foodstuffs. Most Tierradorian agricultural goods that are not used for domestic consumption are exported to Kiravia, Porlos, Ceylonia, Istrenya, and Malentina, of which Tierrador provides a large portion of those five countries' domestic food consumption.
Agriculture is a prominent sector in all 18 commonwealths, however its importance is mainly emphasized in the commonwealths of Telohakee, Teschego, Moscakee, Onancía, Alcosky, and Porvaos, the top five agricultural producing commonwealths in Tierrador. Domestic agricultural products have an airtight grip over Tierradorian markets, with only 9% of agricultural products consumed originated from a foreign country, of which 6% of that number originated from Ceylonia. Imported agricultural goods coming in to Tierrador total a little under $159 billion, and mostly consist of soybeans from Ceylonia, sugar and coffee from Cartadania, various vegetables and tobacco from Alstin, and barley and rye from Kiravia.
Mineral and petroleum extraction
Tierrador is a leading exporter of many natural minerals, ores, and petroleum, and the country is Crona's top producer in lithium, gold, zinc, graphite, and salt. The country has also seen an massive increase in uranium extraction, with uranium pockets being unearthed in rural Teschego. Mineral extraction mainly takes place in the commonwealths of Teschego, Alcosky, Auqali, Anbarsnia, and Tansher, concentrated within three major mountain ranges (Qalhéqs in the west, Wečas in the east, and Tula’au o Tina in Teschego). Petroleum extraction takes place mostly in Telohakee, Alcosky, Teschego, and Bogocía, mostly extracted from offshore rigs within the country's waters. The Moscakee, Chippesaukee, and Qahmebas river basins also provide for a stable extraction industry for gold and gemstones. Tierrador is the largest exporter of lithium in Crona, exporting $__ billion worth of the resource in 2036, and is the 2nd-largest producer of petroleum on the continent, with an output of __ million barrels per day.
Tierrador's mining industry, which includes both minerals and petroleum, had a total value of almost $2.4 trillion in 2036. Massive mining corporations such as Auqali Lithium, Songun Bay Mining, PT, Summit 71, and TescheCo contribute the most to the country's mining sector, and the industry itself accounts for a significant 12% portion of the Tierradorian workforce. Tierrador is the world's largest producer of lithium and zinc, the 4th-largest producer of gold, the 7th-largest producer in both graphite and bauxite, and is the 9th-largest producer of salt. The Tierradorian coal mining had formerly been a strong industry, though had seen a decline in recent decades due to the mass transitions to renewable energy sources. In 1979, Tierrador was the 3rd-largest producer of coal in Crona, behind Arcerion and Alstin; in 1999, Tierrador had dropped to the 6th-largest, being surpassed by Ceylonia and the Cape.
Energy
Tierrador's extensive natural gas, hydroelectric, and nuclear power industries account for a combined majority of Tierradorian energy production. Based on its crude oil and natural gas reserves, Tierrador is a self-sufficient energy producer, and is a net exporter of natural gas, extracted mainly in Teschego and Telohakee. Telocor, Polynesian Energy, and Natukala dominate the Woqalate's energy industry, and its overseas possessions of Teschego and the Saukhin Islands allow for exclusive access to the Cape Sudmoll Refinery, a hotbed for natural gas, and the Saukhin Lagoon, which has large deposits of petroleum and liquified natural gas. 41% of Tierradorian energy production is done by natural gas, while 31% is done by nuclear, 14% is provided by hydroelectricity, 9% done by wind, and 5% done by solar power. Tierrador competes directly with Arcerion for energy exports into Istrenya and Malentina, of which Tierrador possesses a comparable advantage in Istrenya while Arcerion has an absolute advantage in Malentina. Tierrador provides a large amount of Porlosi, Ceylonian, Istrenyan, and Timbian energy imports, and has recently made plans for further energy investments and expansions to Varshan.
