The agricultural sector is one of the mainstays of the local economy. Thanks to its tropical climate, the island's interior boasts one of the foremost centers of sugarcane production in [[Australis]], having cultivated the crop uninterrupted for hundreds of years. During the Republican years the full spectrum of facilities required for sugar production were installed and it is now the islands principal export. Tropical fruits such as guava and mango are also extensively cultivated for export and for local consumption. The [[South Seas Development Company]] operated several fisheries, liquor distillation plants and a garment factory, all of which continue to operate but with their operational focus now shifted to servicing the [[Peratra]]n markets. Zhijun has become a pivotal entry point for [[Daxia]]n companies looking to participate in [[Peratra]], leading to many companies opening their regional offices there. The annual Zhijun Economic Forum seeks to continue attracting attention and investment to the island by promoting it as a unique communication and investment nexus between the regions bordering the [[Ocean of Cathay]]. [[Daxia]]n commercial interest in cornering the [[Peratra]]n markets puts Zhijun as the lynchpin of the strategy, necessitating the modernization of the territory's legal, tax and commercial frameworks; likewise the high levels of corruption under the current local government are pushing economic actors to demand changes to maintain the islands as economically competitive. | The agricultural sector is one of the mainstays of the local economy.

Under [[Party of Daxian Democrats|PDD]] rule, the construction of casinos on the island has been heavily promoted with the first casinos opened in the early 2000's. The gambling industry has seen an exponential growth in the last decade and its become one of the largest sources of revenue for the regional administration, with [[Fondor Gaming International]] being the single largest taxpayer on the territory. Fondor's license to operate casinos was extended in 2026 by 35 years. The increased stream of revenue has fueled a construction boom and the expansion of the tourism industry, with luxury hotels, condominium complexes and shopping malls catering to rich foreigners being built at an accelerated pace. Criminal enterprises have also taken root along with gambling. Prostitution, weapons smuggling and drug production are also thriving under the nose of the [[Green Army]] regime, and some say with its connivance and protection. | Under [[Party of Daxian Democrats|PDD]] rule, the construction of casinos on the island has been heavily promoted with the first casinos opened in the early 2000's.
