The economy of Ulster-Gaelia is a highly developed social market and market-oriented economy. It is one of the world's largest economies by GDP, one of top nations in terms of purchasing power parity and one of the leading exporting countries in the Western hemisphere.

Agriculture

The Agriculture industry is highly mechanized and efficient by Ouhiri standards. The main islands produce 50% of all needed food for the Kingdom with the colonies, particularly on Touli which feeds the United Kingdom at large and exports to other countries for additional income. The fishing industry is one of a kind, being the largest in operation on the planet and supplying well over 49% of the exported fish supply in the global trade network. 

Manufacturing

Manufacturing makes up 38% of the Kingdom economy, producing goods ranging from automobiles, pharmaceuticals, aircraft, and military arms. Standards in place by Parliament makes manufacturing one of the higher paid careers in the country and highly sought after by the working class, several industrial zones are located on the main islands and colonies on Touli. 

Mining

The United Kingdom relies on imported Staol to power most of its industry, but it does mine lesser coal and metals. 

Shipping

Perhaps the largest industry in the UK, is shipping goods from the mainland to the West. Everything from food to Staol is transported via the massive merchant fleet, the Royal Navy also protects merchant shipping and responds to emergency calls following the Oceanic Trade and Prosperity Act (1939).
