The economy of Hinteria is for the most part completely privatised, with major industries being the arms manufacturing, automotive, and financial sectors. One of the major players is the Morvos Group, a conglomerate of loosely connected enterprises that have dealings in all of these sectors. Since the 1980's, banking and stock brokering have risen to become the largest contributors to the economy, followed closely by computer manufacturing and vehicle building.

It is estmiated as of the most recent census that 92% of Hinterians are in some form of employment, with 50% being full time white collar workers, 22% working in manufacturing, and the remaining 20% working in the hospitality and service industries. of the 8% who are unemployed, it is estimated that a rising percentage is made up of people who are not currently seeking work or leaving their homes, a phenomenon classed as Diogenism (placeholder name). This classification applies to people who have not been in employment for more than one year, and who have not left their homes for more than two months. It is currently unknown as to why this phenomenon is on the rise, however it is theorised that it is due to a rising sense of disillusionment with the Hinterian system of work, and a lack of opportunities for young people, as the vast majority of people described as Diogenists are under the age of 25.

Hinterian transport is built mainly around the use of private cars, with ownership of cars growing year on year since the availability of cheap cars in 1912. Cities are linked via a network of highways, which are maintained via the use of a combination of taxes, tolls, and corporate investment. Outside of highways and well populated areas however, roads are infrequently maintained and in poor condition. Public transport usually takes the form of buses and subways, with trains used almost exclusively for travel between cities, commonwealths and other nations. Busses are owned by private corporations in most cities, with the exception of Huntsburg, where the state owned MetroLine is used.
