=== | The Valley represents the heart of the Urcean economy and its major demographic center. The Ionian Plateau region, though not considered part of the Valley, exists as an important peripheral economic part of the Valley. At the center of the Valley, both figuratively and geographically, sits [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]], the seat of power and culture for the country as well as the nation's main economic driver. | ||

Gassavelia and Transionia are the parts of Urcea that encompass most of its eastern border, and accordingly | Gassavelia and Transionia are the parts of Urcea that encompass most of its eastern border, and accordingly they comprise the second-most heavily integrated part of the economy with Urcea's [[Levantine Union]] neighbors. Although national infrastructure projects link these regions to the Valley, many of their transportation connections link eastward into [[Burgundie]], [[Rhotia]], and [[Lapody]]. Together, these regions also comprise a single economic corridor between the [[Ionian Mountains]] and eastern border, and accordingly much of the economy of Transionia and the entire corridor is dependent on Harzenon, the cathedral city and economic hub of Gassavelia. Suburbs of Harzenon and the service sector economic activity related to them stretch throughout Transionia's southern province of [[Burgundiemarch]], which also has limited agricultural activity and some exurban communities tied to Burgoignesc economic centers. Northern Transionia's province of [[Eastvale]], though rural and more agricultural, is very much Harzenon oriented, and much of the produce consumed in Gassavelia originates there. The northernmost part of Eastvale serves as a crossover region between the Corridor and Northern Urcea. | ||
The Eastern Corridor is one of the poorer parts of Urcea due to the geographical remoteness of many settlements, harsh climate of Gassavelia, historic resettlements, and generally small population of the Transionia region. | |||

Southern Urcea is an economic region beyond the Valley which consists of the country's southwestern shore and "middle provinces" which largely sit within the frontier region. These regions share sigificant similarities, including a traditionally thriving commercial port coastal area and relatively unproductive hinterlands. On the frontier, agriculture and exurban development (including both construction and real estate) dominate the economy of the interior, whereas the Caenish hinterland is mostly highlands not suitable for significant economic activity. [[Cana]] is the economic heart of this region. | |||

Northern Urcea consists of the area beyond the [[Pralia Mountains]] from the Valley, Carolina and Ænglasmarch. These regions are the most heavily integrated with [[Anglei]] and [[Yonderre]], with some economists describing the collective area as the "[[Lower Carolina|Durham]]-[[Gabion]] Transnational Economic Area" (DTEA). | |||

Urcea's trade relations primarily involve countries in Levantia owing to the lack of tariffs within the [[Levantine Union]], though trade agreements between Urcea and other countries, such as [[Kiravia]], have been growing more prevalent in the 21st century. Urcean economic interests in Crona have lead to greater trade across the Levantine Ocean, with a particular emphasis on new markets in [[New Harren]], which serves as a hub for trade goods in the eastern hemisphere and a gateway for goods to flood back to Levantia. Urcea traditionally suffered a fairly large trade deficit mostly reliant on exporting food and other goods to [[Sarpedon]], but with the rise of the [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association]] and development of markets in [[Crona]] - in addition to increased trade with [[Caphiria]] - the nation has enjoyed a trade surplus fairly regularly since [[2014]]. | Urcea's trade relations primarily involve countries in Levantia owing to the lack of tariffs within the [[Levantine Union]], though trade agreements between Urcea and other countries, such as [[Kiravia]], have been growing more prevalent in the 21st century.
