Although not as highly developed as its offshore neighbour [[Rovaīon]], Porfíria has a growing and diversifying economy based on a strong primary sector - including agriculture, mining, and the harvesting of timber and fish - and supplemented by transportation, resource processing, and service industries.  
Porfíria has a well-developed and diversified economy closely integrated with the wider [[Economy of Kiravia|economy of the Kiravian Federacy]]. Building on a strong foundation in the primary sector - including agriculture, mining, and the harvesting of timber and fish, the modern Porfírian economy has grown to encompass sectors such as manufacturing, transportation, resource processing, and the service sector, the lattermost of which accounts for 58% of the region's combined {{wp|gross domestic product|GDP}}.
 
The [[Pine flannel industry in Kiravia|pine flannel industry]] blossomed in Porfíria during the late 19th century, but fell into decline during the early 1900s. Although its presence was brief, the pine flannel mills were significant as the first truly modern manufacturing business in the region.


During [[the Sunderance]], Porfíria experienced a manufacturing boom. The loss of the Kiravian Mainland forced the relocation of many strategic {{wp|heavy industry|heavy industrial works}}, and Porfíria, with its abundance of raw materials, would become the destination for many. Industrial growth was most heavily concentrated in [[Cities of Kiravia#Krivôrok|Krivôrok]], where [[Tredagon Arms Factory]] opened a large munitions plant. Many such factories shut down in the decades following Kiravian Reunification, but some have remained, albeit with considerably reduced workforces.
