The Blackhelm Confederacy has a diversified economy which relies heavily upon the mining, agricultural, and oil sectors. The service industry has steadily been growing over the past couple of decades, as wealthier Astyrian nations look to take advantage of the vast English-speaking population present in Confederate cities, but the majority of Confederate citizens remain employed in the traditional labor fields.

Oil & Gas

As one of the largest exporters of oil and natural gas, the Confederacy derives significant wealth from these resources. This sector is pivotal, supporting various downstream industries, including petrochemicals and energy-intensive manufacturing.

Mining

Mining is another critical sector, with the Confederacy rich in minerals such as bauxite, iron ore, and precious metals. These resources are crucial for both domestic use and export.

Agriculture

Agriculture is a cornerstone of the Blackhelm Confederacy's economy, contributing significantly to GDP and employment.

Cocoa

One of the leading export commodities, thriving in the tropical climate.

Coffee

High-quality beans are cultivated for both domestic consumption and export.

Rubber

Extensive rubber plantations support the manufacturing sector.

Tobacco

A key cash crop, with significant export value

Fruits and Vegetables

Diverse production includes bananas, pineapples, and various vegetables, supporting both local markets and exports. Blackhelm Confederate wine is also a major export, as is charvonia, both of which are made of grapes.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing has traditionally been a cornerstone of the Blackhelm Confederacy, with numerous automotive companies and others contributing to the Blackhelm Confederate economy.

Services

The service industry has steadily grown since the creation of the Blackhelm Confederacy, and the call center industry in the Blackhelm Confederacy is on of the largest in Astyria.
