The economy of the islands is relatively developed and varied as they possess significant natural resources that the Varshani state sough to develop. Iles Evangeline have significant reserves of {{wpl|copper}} and thus strip mining of these is a major economic activity with an estimated production of four hundred thousand metric tons extracted in 2021. All of Iles Evangeline's copper mines are now under the control of the Department of Trade which is introducing the use of newer technology to increase copper production.

All of Iles Evangeline's copper mines are now under the control of the Department of Trade which is introducing the use of newer technology to increase copper production. Also present are large deposits of blue {{wpl|limestone}} and {{wpl|diorite}} which were highly valued by the Varshani for use in the construction of their monuments and temple complexes. So important were these materials to the mainland that most of the mines were nationalized and placed under the direct control of state run Arzalist foundations that directed the materials specifically to temples under construction in the mainland. Another important economic activity is the cultivation of {{wpl|aloe vera}}, which is used in Varshan's traditional medicine. Under Varshan rule, almost one third of the island's arable surface is dedicated to planting aloe fields. | ||
Tourism from mainland Varshan began to experience moderate growth and a few resorts catering to the upper castes were opened in the late 2000's. The partial restoration of the [[Blood Fane of Buruso]] saw a marked uptick in arzalist pilgrimages to the site so much that the Varshan Control Commission lodged at formal complaint with Corummese authorities, fearful of arzalist proselytism. [[Burgundie]] has banned [[Varshan]]i travellers all together. | Tourism from mainland Varshan began to experience moderate growth and a few resorts catering to the upper castes were opened in the late 2000's.
