 ===Service sector===
 The general service sector makes up the majority of Urcean economic activity. As an urbanized nation, Urceans rely on the retail sector for nearly all basic necessities, requiring a large workforce to fulfill them and creating large revenues.
+====Shipping and cargo transportation====
+The movement of goods and services with Urcea and abroad is becoming an increasingly large part of the economy. While [[Rail transportation in Urcea|rail transportation]] has been a major economic sector since the 19th century, the Urcean commercial shipping industry has doubled in size since the beginning of [[The Deluge|the Deluge]] and increased economic activity in [[Crona]]. The shipping sector in Urcea is subject to significant [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] investment, as many of the major firms established during the late 20th and early 21st century were founded by Burgoignesc capital or as offshoots of established Burgoignesc companies.
 ===Public sector===
 The public sector is an important part of Urcean economic life, but its impact is spread disproportionately. It is one of the largest economic sectors of the [[Urceopolis (Archduchy)|Archduchy of Urceopolis]], where the Urcean government and bureaucracy are based, but has a smaller impact by contrast in the remaining provinces and crownlands.
