The Amadorian economy is one of the smallest economies in the region of Gholgoth, reflexive in its population also being one of the smallest. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is estimated to be around $722,192,867,990,541.00 and a GDP per capita of $47,091.35. Amador maintains of the the highest per capita incomes in the region.

The Aereus is Amador's currency.
Amador has a social market economy with a highly skilled labour force, a low level of corruption, and a high level of innovation owing to it's ancient Elven roots. The nation is home to Amadorie Airs, one the the region's premier airship manufacturing companies. The kingdom maintain a trade surplus, exporting more goods than importing. Top exports include airships, paints, electrical equipment, transport equipment, and food products.
Amadorians have one of the highest average household and employee incomes among members of Gholgoth, as well as a high median household income. Wealth is relatively spread out, though income inequality has seen an uptick over the last two decades. Among regional nations, Amador possess relatively few billionaires (984), as many simply give their fortunes to charities. Because of government policies and the general caringness of the nations populace, poverty rates are low, with only 3% of the nation living under the poverty line. As a net grower of agricultural products and with government involvment and subsidies, most Amadorian citizens will never go hungry. Amador has a sizable homeless population of over 12 million, though many of these citizens choose to be homeless to better be with nature. The nation provides enough shelters for all homeless citizens should the need arise. The Kingdom has a large welfare state backed by government support. It guarantees its' workers paid vacation and paternity and maternity leave.
With modern policies geared at putting Amador on an equal footing in regional affairs and beyond, the Amadorian economy has undergone extensive networking and refurbishing.

Central business districts are springing up in the nations largest cities.

As a nation equipped with airships, the nations airways are dense and efficient. High speed rail also services the nation, with much of the dedicated rail lines for citizens capable of speeds in excess of 300 miles per hour, among the best in Gholgoth.
