Agriculture is a major industry in Urcea. Urcea's fair climate and sweeping plains are perfect for growing both wheat and maize, and the country exports both of these in large numbers, particularly to countries circling the [[Odoneru Ocean]]. As a consequence of the wheat surplus, the dairy industry became large in the 19th century and is another important sector in the economy today, with milk being another major export besides being consumed in most homes across the country. Another sector that benefits from the nation's agricultural strength is beer production, and in the province of Goldvale hops and wheat for brewing purposes are grown in large quantities. In the south of Urcea, and especially in [[Canaery]], wine production is a major industry as is automobile manufacturing, with [[Hermès Auto]] emerging from the Caenish racing tradition. | Agriculture is a major industry in Urcea.

{{Main|Housing in Urcea}} | |||
Housing is a both a major industry and a cultural idea in Urcea, with real estate development and other housing-adjacent sectors forming a major portion of the economy; analysts valued their total economic impact as 10% of Urcea's gross domestic product in 2025. Much of Urcea's housing stock was built within the last century and a half due to the combined effects of war, redevelopment, scientific advancements allowing for expansion of habitable areas (particularly in the tropical south of Urcea), and continued settlement of areas by [[Ómestaderoi]]. As a society, Urceans view {{wp|single family housing}} within close proximity to extended family as the "ideal of home", enforced by both cultural norms and {{wp|Catholic social teaching|Catholic views}} on the value of {{wp|Distributism|widespread property ownership within society}}. Throughout much of the 20th century and especially following the [[Second Great War]], these ideals lead to [[The Valley (Urcea)|the Valley]], Urcea's central plain, to be largely redeveloped as {{wp|suburban sprawl}}, although a renewed focus on extended family-oriented exurban development came about during the late 1980s and was enshrined into law in 2002. [[Disurbanism]] and related ideologies are popular within Urcean society, and a general distrust and suspicion of high-density areas is widespread within society. With the exception of [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]] due to its historical and religious connotations, a majority of Urceans have expressed concern about urbanist philosophies from abroad being imported in Urcea. Urcea's zoning laws are largely determined by provincial and local governments, though national laws severely limit the construction of {{wp|Tower block|tower blocks}}. | |||
