The economy of the islands is relatively developed and varied as they possess significant natural resources that the Varshani state sough to develo. The Liyu islands have significant reserves of copper and thus strip mining of these is a major economic activity with an estimated production of four hundred thousand metric tons extracted in 2021. All of Liyu's copper mines are now under the control of the Ministry of Trade which is introducing the use of newer technology to increase copper production. Also present are large deposits of blue limestone and diorite which were highly valued by the Varshani for use in the construction of their monuments and temple complexes. So important were these materials to the mainland that most of the mines were nationalized and placed under the direct control of state run Arzalist foundations that directed the materials specifically to temples under construction in the mainland. Another important economic activity is the cultivation of aloe, which is used in Varshan's traditional medicine. Under Varshan rule, almost one third of the island's arable surface is dedicated to planting aloe fields. Tourism from mainland Varshan began to experience moderate growth and a few resorts catering to the upper castes were opened in the late 2000's. The partial restoration of Buruso's Fane saw a marked uptick in arzalist pilgrimages to the site.

Poop factory aka GUANO. You could make it a garbage collection island for Crona. Nature reserve is an easy one, but doesn't work great in conjunction with guano mining and garbage collection. service shipping between Corumm/Alshar and your colonies. Probably an important island for the navy You can right stuff about human migration through the islands from Alshar to Crona to Australis. Plastic surgery destination for interested Cronans You could have the Varshani history be about suppression of the native Alshari population while Varshan made irredentist claims about the islands being the gateway to Crona or something You can look to feudal Japan for other history ideas for before Varshan controlled the islands cuz yknow islands
