New Veltorina's economy has been called "divergent" by several prominent observers and economists, due to the heavily urbanized and relatively modern economy in and surrounding [[New Taxades]], the capital and socio-economic heart of New Veltorina on the country's northern coast while the southern and interior parts of the country are functionally a {{wp|developing economy}}. The primary export of both regions of the country is foodstuff to neighboring [[Varshan]], whose intermittent post-war famines have produced significant demand for food from across Crona. In terms of consumer products, {{wp|mead}} is by far the most well known and popular agricultural export of the country, with well-capitalized apiaries and meaderies existing alongside subsistence farms within the interior. | New Veltorina's economy has been called "divergent" by several prominent observers and economists, due to the heavily urbanized and relatively modern economy in and surrounding [[New Taxades]], the capital and socio-economic heart of New Veltorina on the country's northern coast while the southern and interior parts of the country are functionally a {{wp|developing economy}}.

New Veltorina's most prosperous and productive region is its northern coastal plain, centered on the city of [[New Taxades]]. Since [[2024]], this area has become increasingly urbanized, with increased demand for consumer goods (mostly foreign) and services dominating the economic life of the city. The presence of the government in New Taxades, as well as a significant concentration of both New Veltorine and [[Urcea]]n military personnel, is the primary driver of demand on the tertiary service industry. The northern plain is also a prosperous fishing area, producing major catches often exported to Varshan. | New Veltorina's most prosperous and productive region is its northern coastal plain, centered on the city of [[New Taxades]].

The northern plain is also a prosperous fishing area, producing major catches often exported to Varshan. The other major urban area of New Veltorina is in and around the indigenous city of Qozala on the country's southwestern coast. Unlike the New Taxades area, Qozala (and its Qozala Special Governance Area) is extremely impoverished and is primarily reliant on international development aid. In the [[2030]]s, the area began to see a small influx of tourists, as Qozala is one of the few areas where pre-Deluge Varshani architecture and historical structures remain intact. The Qozala tourist sector has been the recent target of significant investment from both foreign capital and the New Veltorine government. | ||
Outside of the major urban corridor, much of New Veltorina is a {{wp|developing economy}}, with most of the population living there conducting {{wp|subsistence farming|subsistence agricultural activity}} and ranching. Some of the New Veltorine hinterlands have become successful and productive farms and ranches, and like the northern coast most of its surplus is sold to Varshan. Construction is a growing sector in the New Veltorine hinterland as well, especially in the territories acquired from Varshan, where extensive transportation infrastructure and transportation linkage with the rest of the country has been constructed since [[2024]]. | Outside of the major urban corridor, much of New Veltorina is a {{wp|developing economy}}, with most of the population living there conducting {{wp|subsistence farming|subsistence agricultural activity}} and ranching.
