While the Republics continued to have beneficial relationships with each other and engaged in trade, both with each other and the rest of the world, they were largely stagnant - no major developments were made in technology, culture, or civics. For the most part, these republics adopted a form of constitutional democracy based on ideas pioneered in nations such as [[Tretrid]] earlier in the century. In the later part of the 19th century, the discovery of oil in Aldaar made the region somewhat relevant again, but ultimately would have no great long-term impact. Similarly, while the changes to international commerce brought on by the [[Great War]] saw some small changes, there was no immediate long term impact.
[[File:AVGTraining.png|thumb|300x300px|left|A photograph of Aldaari Volunteer Guardsmen at a training camp, taken in the late 1970s]]In 1920, following the great war, the [[Mirhaime|Federation of Mirhaime]] - looking to regain resources lost in the war and become a regional power in [[Novaris]] - established a blockade of the Republics of [[Republic of Mukarras|Mukarras]] and [[Republic of Sayaduun|Sayaduun]]. After talks with then-president of Mukarras, [[Takuhii Hatem]], Mirhaime assumed full control over the republic. From there, they used it as a staging ground to invade the rest of the region, with only the more militaristic [[Republic of Fawdaa]] being able to hold back the exhausted and overextended Mirhaimian forces. As part of their mandate, Mirhaime established the [[Western Gondwanan Economic Company]], or WEGEC, and allowed them almost complete control over the Protectorate of Aldaar. Immediately, WEGEC proved itself to have an authoritarian streak - blatantly influencing elections, changing laws, and even establishing a militaristic wing, the [[Aldaari Volunteer Guards]], to maintain control. While tactics and impacts varied from republic to republic, WEGEC's goal of fully utilizing any possible resource in Aldaar, at any cost, remained the same.
Despite the Guards' Revolution in 1944 and the subsequent period of chaos bringing significant changes to the political landscape of Mirhaime, which many in both Mirhaime and Aldaar expected would lead to reforms in how WEGEC operated, special interests in the Fefsen government were able to not only kill any reforms but maintain complete control over the protectorate for themselves, exchanging power over the dominion for their compliance with the post-Alor regime. Over time, control over all information into and out of Aldaar, combined with effective suppression of any resistance, ensured that intervention by the Lewydh would be costly and unpopular. However, revolutionary groups within the Protectorate of Aldaar, especially in the Republic of Mukarras, maintained a sizeable resistance against the regime that, despite numerous setbacks, were able to persist into the 21st century. In 2022, [[Yufraan Abd'ildarra]] would, according to Dawrani teachings, gain the favor of Ildarra and, with massive support from the Mukarrasi people, lead a popular rebellion in the region, pushing WEGEC out of the main populated areas and establishing a competing government. Claiming the title of the Second Divine Republic of Aldaar, Abd'ildarra had the power to prepare the newly reestablished nation for war, gaining support from the [[Federation of the Southern Coast]], as well as [[Alane Kairas|Lewydh Alane Kairas]] in Mirhaime. In March 2023, Protectorate forces and the Second Divine Republic would clash in the [[Battle of Mukarras]], which combined a compelling defeat of the Aldaari Volunteer Guard in Mukarras, a second insurrection staged in the Republic of Sayaduun, and the arrests of many WEGEC conspirators in Ymirodraeth for a compelling victory for Abd'ildarra. On March 20th, 2023, Mirhaime recognized the independence of Aldaar, with [[Talia Jaziri]], newly declared President of Sayaduun, opting to unify with the Second Divine Republic.

Until 2022, the Mirhaimian [[Western Gondwanan Economic Company|Protectorate of Aldaar]] was the world's leading exporter of oil, producing upwards of 10 million barrels of oil per day. However, due to the smaller size of the Second Divine Republic, a focus on a diversified economy, and the implementation of laws protecting workers' rights, that number has dropped considerably. Still, Aldaar consistently ranks among the top three global oil exporters, and since many experts believe that the Aldaari government plans to reintegrate the remaining five republics, there is a large chance that they will soon return to their former status.
Beyond mineral resources, Aldaar has very few natural resources that exist in sufficient quantities for exportation. While dates have become fairly widespread, not enough are exported to constitute a significant portion of the Aldaari economy. The main exception to this is the thriving global tequila industry, based on Aldaari agave; however, agave plantations in other desert countries have outperformed Aldaar on several occasions.

===Agriculture===
{{Main|Agriculture in Aldaar}}
The agricultural industry of Aldaar is large, and unlike the mining sector, is controlled mostly by private companies. Many rural Aldaaris in central Mukarras and Sayaduun use agriculture as their main form of income, due to many homesteads having cultivated their own food for centuries before the modernization of regional economic systems in the 1890s, and a combination of modern equipment, wide tracts of land, and fairly decent soil quality significantly lowering the barriers to establishing farms financially viable enough to support a family. Rural farmers often sell their goods to larger agricultural companies or directly to the Aldaari government, which sets competitive prices for agricultural goods. On the western coast of Aldaar, most farming is done on land owned by larger corporations, especially farming of non-native crops.
Aldaar's biggest native agricultural export is [[Agave gondwanensis|agave]], which is used for the distillation and production of [[w:tequila|tequila]]. Most agave farms are run by the Aldaari brand [[Darduusta Tequila|Darduusta Teqiilyatlaan]], the world's oldest continually operating tequila company, which is based in the Aldaari city of [[Murad]]. Aldaar is also the primary source of [[w:mesquite flour|mesquite flour]], a relatively popular gluten-free flour that enjoys some commercial success. Other commercially cultivated native species in Aldaar include [[w:date palm|dates]], [[w:fig|figs]], and [[w:opuntia|prickly pears]]. On the pacific coast, there is a very high concentration of orchards growing fruits including [[w:pomegranate|pomegranates]], [[w:citrus|citrus]] plants (including lemons, limes, and kumquats), [[w:peach|peaches]] and nectarines, [[w:plum|plums]], [[w:apricots|apricots]], and [[w:apples|apples]]. [[w:Olives|Olives]] and [[w:grapes|grapes]] are also grown. In the scrublands and arid plains of Aldaar, most crops grown are grains and vegetables such as [[w:solanaceae|nightshades]] including tomatoes and squash, [[w:maize|maize]], [[w:beans|beans]], and [[w:sorghum|sorghum]]. However, most inland crops are cultivated to fulfill Aldaar's own needs, and are not exported.
In addition to large-scale farms, many smaller farms exist cultivating herbs and spices including [[w:cinnamon|cinnamon]], [[w:coriander|coriander]], [[w:turmeric|turmeric]], [[w:ginger|ginger]], [[w:anise|anise]], [[w:caraway|caraway]], [[w:sumac|sumac]], [[w:cumin|cumin]], [[w:dill|dill]], and [[w:saffron|saffron]], which have been exported globally as far back as the 15th century and are very commonly associated with Aldaari styles of cooking. In addition, medicinal plants such as [[Echinacea calvatus|tanshiit]] and less commercially viable edible plants such as [[w:Hyphaene thebaica|doum palms]] (for their fruit) are grown for local markets.
Ranching is relatively common in Aldaar but is entirely for domestic consumption, as the country is not self-sufficient with either meat or dairy. While fishing and aquaculture are very widespread, especially in the Sayaduun Governorate, they also mostly supply local markets. Because the majority of the country is arid scrublands and desert, there is no forestry industry to speak of.
