==Economy==
The Rodokan economy traditionally centered on agriculture, primarily in farming and in seafood. Both are still prevalent in Rodoka today. Major crops grown on Rodoka include grains such as sorghum, millet, and barley; legumes such as beans, chickpeas and cowpeas; and tubers such as yams and cassava. Tobacco was historically grown on Rodoka, but with very little Acronian demand for the product, the Rodokan tobacco industry largely ceased by the turn of the 21st century.
There is some manufacturing and mining on Rodoka, although both of these sectors are smaller than elsewhere in Acronis. Tourism is also a major part of the Rodokan economy, with the warm, typically calm weather a popular draw. Prior to 2020, there was also some oil drilling in Rodokan waters. However, oil extraction is politically unpopular, and the Petroleum Extraction Ban Act of 1954 has banned oil drilling in Acronis proper. While Extraterritorial Civil Jurisdictions were exempt from the law, as a province, the law has now taken effect in Rodoka and requires all petroleum extraction be shut down. Oil refineries in Rodoka will remain open, and waters off the reservation are eligible for oil wells if the Tribal Administration approves it.
