Atavia's economy is primarily centered around fishing. As fishing boats and methods have become increasingly advanced on the island, support industries - such as boat mechanics and even some limited retail locations for fishing tools and paraphernalia - have begun to grow around it. Besides fish, Atavia's main export is what could be described as "cultural oddities", products specific to the Atani people and their traditions such as whale bone horns, miniature sized dolmens which have become popular in [[Urcea]] as {{wp|paper weights}} and desktop decoration, and other similar items which serve both as functional products as well as souvenirs. Construction is increasingly becoming the largest industry on the island as the [[Urcean military]] has been constructing bases all along the island. It is estimated that the service economy adjacent to the [[Royal Air Force (Urcea)|Royal Air Force]] base on the island will be the largest portion of the economy by 2050. | Atavia's economy is primarily centered around fishing.

It is estimated that the service economy adjacent to the [[Royal Air Force (Urcea)|Royal Air Force]] base on the island will be the largest portion of the economy by 2050. The Occidentalization of the island has had the practical effect of fostering increased urbanization, leading to population growth in all of Atavia's largest settlements. The cities, especially Keuka, have seen the largest share of economic growth since [[2024]], with the military-adjacent service industry being a primary driver. The largest segment of this are new contracting firms, ranging from construction to catering, developed by indigenous entrepreneurs hoping to receive lucrative military contracts. The island government created in the mid-2020s has also been a small source of service-related economic development. | ||
