Volkia produces a large amount of electricity thanks to the country's natural gas reserves, which has been used for export and for fueling its own power plants. There is also a large network of hydroelectric power that powers roughly 35% of the country. Natural gas plants produce 40% of Volkia's electricity, while nuclear power plants produce the remaining 25%.

Volkia's roadways are utilized mostly by internal cargo and passenger traffic, and as of 2015 totaled about 620,000 miles. The Volkian federal highway system is known colloquially as the Шоссе (''[[Shosse]])''. It is officially known as the Федеральная система автомобильных дорог (''Federal'naya sistema avtomobil'nykh dorog,'' abbreviated FSAD''),'' which translates as "federal highway system." It connects the major cities and is marked by blue colored signs and their own numbering system.

Tourism in Volkia grossed $48.5 billion in 2018 with an increase of 4% from the previous year. Of this, $19.9 billion (41%) came from foreign tourism. In 2018 there were 21.8 million overnight stays of domestic tourists and 12.7 million stays of foreign tourists. Much of the growth can be attributed to increasing globalization of the country and increasing awareness. Yasteria is still the largest market for foreign tourists, though the biggest growth came from [[Borea]] and [[Aurora]]. Tourism contributes roughly 1.8% to Volkia's GDP.
