Like the [[Government_of_Burgundie#Legislative_Branch|Citizens Court of the National Assembly (Burg. La Assemblee de Ciutadans de l'Assemblee Nacional, ACAN)]], The Sudmollian Citizen's Court of the Provincial Assembly is a unicameral legislator. It makes provincial law, has the power of the provincial purse, and has the power of impeachment, by which it can remove sitting members of the provincial government. The Assembly has three seats for each province, one for the [[Government_of_Burgundie#Constituent_Countries|Burgoignesc Overseas Territory Assembly]]'s Sudmoll liaison, 3 for the clergy, 3 seats reserved for municipal leaders, and 3 for a rota of private business leaders. On 6 occasions throughout the year 3 more seats are opened to the public to debate topics that are not on the annual legislative agenda.

[[File:AncientTownOlvia.jpg|thumb|left|Unnamed Daxian ruin in western Sudmoll.]]
Because Sudmoll's economy is a high-low mix of sectors from research to traditional fishing and herding, opportunities abound for Iti at all skill and education levels, which has helped the islands maintain a fairly steady unemployment rate of around X% for the last decade.  
Sudmoll has, in recent years become known for {{wpl|whale watching}}: {{wpl|Humpback whale}}s come and reproduce here between July and October within easy sighting distance from the beaches.
[[Burgundie]]'s high emphasis on [[Culture_in_Burgundie#Education|education]] translates to a particularly educated and skilled workforce, leading to lower unemployment compared to less educated countries in [[Australis]]. The islands' economic diversity cushions against overreliance on any single industry, which has demonstrably made the island more resilient during downturns. Since [[Burgundie]] strives for [[Total Economic Engagement]] and espouses equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, ability, or background, Sudmolls benefits from improved access to education and training, impacting employment prospects across various fields.
 
The island's unspoiled nature in the form of its lush forests and numerous wildlife, its [[Daxia]]n and [[Loa]] ruins and various extravagant villas constructed on the island by rich [[Burgoigniacs]] have drawn visitors to the island since the 19th century, with various writers, poets and painters bringing the island to the public eye over the years.
===Criticism===
Permanent inhabitants of Sudmoll have spoken against the increased tourism in the recent decades due to the risk the expanded tourism industry might bring to the unspoiled nature of the island.

In [[2024]], a subsidy program was established for participants who can provide 1 hectare of undeveloped, arable, and viable land and a business plan to farm/ranch on the land with shade-tolerant crops can receive up to $150,000 towards the installation of a solar array.

{{wpl|Aquaculture}} is a new aspect for the economy of Sudmoll. The commercialization of the pearl and nacre industry was first attempted in the 1990s and met with stiff resistance by the cottage industry that existed around it. The final push was in [[2014]] when conservation groups succeeded in getting the local legislature to put a 10-year moratorium on "wild" {{wpl|fishing}}, {{wpl|pearl-diving}}, and other forms of {{wpl|Gathering seafood by hand|gathering seafood by hand}}.

Sudmoll imports its petroleum and has no local refinery or production. Civilian daily consumption of imported oil products was 5,430 barrels in [[2025]], which constitutes 70% of energy generation for the island's inhabitants. A {{wpl|waste-to-energy plant}} was constructed in [[2003]] and provides the remaining 30% of power generation. It also consumes about 83% of the waste generated on the island. The {{wpl|syngas}} byproduct is increasingly becoming one of Sudmoll's most valuable exports.

There is a rising interest in {{Sudmoll#Agrinergie|Agrinergie]] but a study found that the total potential of the island could only offset the need to meet the current energy consumption, which will never be realized. There has been a mild interest, in residential and commercial solar energy but there isn't a financial capability by the vast majority of residents and businesses to make the initial investments even with current government subsidies. It is estimated that the total solar energy generation capacity on the island is about 4KWs and there is no expectation of that drastically increasing in the next 3-5 yrs.

Through an infrastructure investment grant, the [[Levantine Union]] has committed ₮8 million to construct tidal power generators, but the project is currently stalled by local fishermen who are concerned about the disturbances the generators will cause to their livelihood. The project is still expected to move forward and the projected completion date is [[2029]]. A feasibility study was conducted and determined that solar would be unreliable due to the long monsoon seasons, and nuclear was too expensive for the demand.
