The East Cerdan economy has remained largely insular and closed, primarily due to the historic isolation East Cerdani has faced since independence and the aims of the government for complete self-sufficiency in all strategic areas of the economy. Since the early 2000s however the official policy has shifted towards establishing more economic relations and co-operation with non-socialist countries based primarily on reciprocal advantage and mutual respect for sovereignty and independence. As a result of this policy change the East Cerdan economy has begun to export significant numbers of certain products, providing the state with an important source of foreign currency for further trade. |

All forms of media in East Cerdani is heavily influenced or outright controlled by the government. Newspapers are widely circulated domestically with state-controlled dailies having some of the high readership numbers. However this number has declined since the 2000s with the arrival and increasing popularity of the internet. |

Radio is also highly popular and similarly state-owned and supported. Radio stations are highly varied from the main domestic services to smaller stations orientated towards specific regions or groups such as the national youth radio station TD46. East Cerdani still maintains international shortwave broadcasts as Radio Morzahnstadt International which acts largely as a propaganda service across all of Urth. |

East Cerdani's energy is largely based on nuclear, hydro and coal, with growing contributions from renewables such as solar, wind and thermal energy since the mid 2000s. As of 2023 the energy breakup consists of 42% Nuclear, 35% Hydro, 12% Coal with the remaining 11% coming from a mixture of solar, wind and thermal with a small portion (less than 2%) coming from natural gas and biofuels. East Cerdani has been energy independent since 1962 and, since 1988, exports electricity to West-Cerdani which has remained partially reliant on East-Cerdan hydro and coal power. |
||
Since the mid 2000s official energy policies have been shifting away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy sources. This has successfully seen the scaling back of coal and gas plants and production with the introduction of large wind farms, solar plants and solar updraft towers. All energy production and distribution is managed by [[Elektrizität der DDR]] with oversight from the Ministry of Energy. |
