Tolôn is the leading port for Great Kiravian trade with Cartadania and Caphiria, and is particularly important as the main port of entry for Kiravian oil and gas imports from Cartadania and for coffee imports from both countries. It is also an important base for Kiravian oil and gas exploration in the northern Odoneru Ocean and for colonial imports of sea oil from Uruvun (Eusa). It is a crucial link in Great Kirav's energy supply chain, as the site of three large oil refineries and the terminus of five oil and three gas pipelines running northward and north-eastward to supply Central Kirav and the populous Northeastern, Mid-Continental, and Míhanska Bay regions with fuel. On the export side, Tolôn is the main port of departure for products from Central Kirav, South Kirav, and Northwestern Kirav southbound to Continental Ixnay, Pribraltar, the Melian Isles, Sydona, and the Saxalin Islands.
Tolôn Naval Harbour hosts logistical and other support activities for the Kiravian Navy's Odoneru Fleet (its areal command responsible for the Odoneru Ocean), the headquarters and main operational base of which is located at the Perakan Naval Operations Complex on Eusa.
Tolôn has an ethnically diverse population. The city was founded by Valosian and Kostiatan Coscivians, who are still present in the city in large numbers and dominate its political establishment. Other ethnic groups with large communities in Tolôn include Swamp Coscivians and South Kiravians from neighbouring parts of the region, Korlan Coscivians from nearby Korlēdan, Tryhstians, Ibarran and Kālatan Coscivians, Hâlatran Coscivians, Sea Coscivians, members of the primarily nomadic Tānkan Coscivian people who traditionally migrate along the South Coast, Azikorians, Melotes, Cartadanians, Caphirians and Hekuvian Coscivians, Rumeli Coscivians, Slakoscivians, Woolzi Arabs, Austral Coscivians from Sydona, Low Antaric Coscivians, Pribraltarian and St. Kenneran Coscivians, and Daxians. Due to the large Tryhstian and Cartadanian populations and the city's strong business ties to Cartadania and the Tryhstian Littoral, Lusonic is widely spoken in the city. Most restaurants in Tolôn offer Lusonic menus, and most cinemas show films with Lusonic subtitles.
