The Economy of the Confederate States of Floria is a highly developed free-market economy. It is one of Micra's largest by nominal GDP despite engaging in warfare throughout its history and post-war treaties which at one point disabled many of the country's most important sectors until the treaties were eventually abolished. The Florian dollar is one of the most stable and its exchange rate compares strongly with the Craitish Cräite, the standard used to compare other currencies. Floria imports and exports a large number of goods, most notably the former member states of the Apollonian and Euran Economic Union and the Raspur Pact, which it was formerly part of.

Floria has one of the largest automobile manufacturing industries and the largest telecommunication and technology industry and is the most innovative in that sector. Floria also has significantly large reserves of natural oil and gas and owns many companies controlling the extraction of these resources. Other major industries include mining, music and sports.

After the annexation of Port Balaine in 1706 AN, the country faced extensive sanctions and boycotts from many nations with the most harshest sanctions enacted by the Xäiville Convention, Floria’s largest trading partner outside the Raspur Pact. These sanctions were mostly abolished by 1721.
