Despite religious differences, western Tavaris formed an integral part of the country, and gradually gained importance as maritime trade along Cerenerian Ocean routes became more and more lucrative. With the decline of Ni-Rao as an economic power in the 15th century and the increasing antagonism of Bana, Tavaris needed to look in other directions for trade partners. Trade was established in all directions, including with [[Ny’Natrotomi]] to the west, Asendavian settlers to the north, and trading vessels from [[Novaris]] and [[Aurora]]. Tavaris began to expand as well, first to [[Metrati Anar]] and eventually to [[Rodoka]] and [[Metradan]], and western Tavari ports like Enaro Ttatražakai (Crystal Coast) and Anara were the primary gateways. The population began to increase significantly after Tavari unification, intensifying the already extant urbanization but also causing a massive expansion of the coffee, cocoa, and sugar industries on and near the Ranat Plateau. Goods produced there were often shipped internationally from the port of Tovar.

While western Tavaris was always less populated than the east and the south, and thus had less wealth in absolute terms, per capita the average wealth and income of people in the west has been similar to that of the east since unification. A powerful merchant economy grew in the major cities of the west, while agriculture remained the overwhelming majority of economic activity in the western interior. Sugarcane and rum production expanded, especially for export, and gradually crops from foreign regions of the world, primarily millet and rice, were introduced. Ancient volcanism enriched the soil of central Avnatra, particularly on and near the plateau, allowing for the cultivation of all kinds of crops that, in turn, enriched the economies of the port cities when they were sold in trade. In the year 1604, a census determined that Enaro Ttatražakai had surpassed ~~Nandrat~~ to become the second-largest city in the country after ~~Nuvrenon~~. And while ~~Nandrat~~ ~~would~~ ~~take~~ ~~back~~ ~~that title from time to time, especially~~ in ~~the~~ ~~immediate~~ ~~aftermath~~ of ~~the~~ ~~Industrial~~ ~~Revolution~~ ~~in the late 18th century~~, Enaro Ttatražakai is estimated by historians to have become the second-''wealthiest'' city in Tavaris around the same time and retain that title until Acronian independence.
