{{Main|Economy of Aldaar}}
Aldaar has a [[w:mixed economy|mixed economy]] focused around the extraction of natural resources such as rare urth elements and oil, agricultural exports, and artisan goods.
===Natural Resources===
As of 2024, the majority of Aldaar's exports consisted of raw natural resources obtained through large-scale operations. While Aldaar is well known for being one of the world's largest exporters of oil in the modern day, Aldaar also has relatively large reserves of minerals and precious gemstones, as well as other metals. The nation his home to large concentrations of bastnaesite and monazite deposits which are extracted for their concentrations of light [[w:lanthanides|lanthanides]], including lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, samarium, and europium. In addition, Aldaar's environment boasts fairly large mineral reserves of gypsum, borates, borax, bromine, iodine, sodium carbonate, and calcium, with some smaller reserves of lithium, gold and silver, and uranium. Adding on to the nation's mineral wealth is the high concentrations of gems and precious stones, including diamonds, malachite, turquoise, Aldaar's national gemstone of amethyst, and many more.
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. Most [[Flora of Aldaar|flora]] and [[Wildlife of Aldaar|fauna]] native to Aldaar are frequently not useful enough to be exported, or are too costly to grow on a commercially viable scale. While some native flora are cultivated on a medium scale, and fishing and pastoralism are both commonplace, most of this is for subsistence, not exportation, and largely does not affect Aldaar's economy in a monetary sense.
