Although Bussdaberria in the past was frequently regarded as a regional power because of its more than 50 million inhabitants, this was by no means the case when considering the economic perspective. Compared to other [[Sarpedon]] nations, it had limited economic resources. Low overall production levels and income were due to the high variation(economic specialization) in economic development among the kingdom's regions. Some regions were highly industrialized, like Άvamax, whose income level corresponded more or less to [[Urceopolis]], while others had just started industrial development effectively remained substantially lower than foreseen estimates. Therefore, Bussdaberria's gross domestic product (GDP) per capita remained significantly lower than that of the aforementioned countries. This average, which would not have mattered as much under conditions of peace, became extremely relevant during the collapse because it represented the potential that could be used to fuel military efforts.

Despite more than two decades of civil strife, the national economy has survived as an informal economy, based mainly on livestock, smuggling of counterfeit production of various contraband materials. Classified as a fourth world nation, due to a dearth of formal government statistics and the civil strife, it is difficult to gauge the size or growth of the economy outside government controlled areas - oppossition groups are unwilling or unable to release date (accussed by the government tied with the cartels). The country's collapse created a breeding ground for criminal organizations. Gunrunning, illicit drug smuggling, para-production of prescribed drugs are considered the norm in most non-government held areas resulting a response to combat the threat of organized crime with brute use of force against any associates in order to crack down the problem using the various security agencies to 'spook' said organizations with mixed results.


The Άvamax controlled areas in the other hand resemble an economy closely of First World nations in contrast. Private investment in commercial activities have been largely financed internally but remain limited, and includes trade and marketing, money transfer services, transportation, communications, industrial equipment, airlines, telecommunications, education, health, construction and hotels.

The number of lakes is figured around 169. A figure frequently cited in travel guides there are as many 13 rivers, thousands of small idyllic settlements are said to be dotting the countryside.
