The primary economic engine of Sudmoll is the military installations. Secondly is the port which is just north of the capital. Port Nova Martillia is a small {{wpl|container port}} that can accommodate two {{wpl|Feeder ship|feeder sized ships}} at once. It is used to export the agricultural goods from the island but also to supply the locals with sustenance since the island is not self-sufficient. Since opening relations with [[Stenza]] the port has increased its activity almost twofold. Smaller packet freighters are a much more common sight. Almost all of the meager exports from Sudmoll now go to markets in [[Stenza]], | The primary economic engine of Sudmoll is the military installations.

Tourism is a significant industry. | |||
The main trading partners are the [[Burgoignesc Metropole]] for about 40% of imports and about 25% of exports. The other main trading partners are [[Stenza]], [[Caphiria]], and [[Pelaxia]]. | |||
Unemployment affects about 13% of the active population, especially women and unqualified young people. | |||
==Energy and electricity== | |||
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. | |||
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. | |||
