The islands are composed chiefly of flat terrain, and due to their temperate weather, the agricultural and other industries are located primarily in the central parts of the islands. On the shorelines are major cities with the majority of population and services. The most significant percentage of jobs are in services, officer or naval industries. A considerable portion of the Iconian economy depends on the internal trade between the Iconian islands, and the second-biggest source of income are the exports overseas. One of the leading trade partners of Aquilia is the Kingdom of Thessolakia due to its proximity and is also a famous summer vacation destination.

The Iconian service sector makes up around 62 % of GDP. Tourism is a significant part of seasonal income. While attractions on the main islands are interesting for historical reasons, the Isles of Pansa provides a perfect solution for the summer holidays.

While attractions on the main islands are interesting for historical reasons, the Thessolakian island, the Isles of Pansa and the Isle of Eleusinia provide a perfect solution for the summer holidays for all social classes.

The second-largest percentage of the national production is naval, shipbuilding and electronic industries. Iconia has been building its naval and industrial infrastructure for thousands of years. The coming of modern technologies enabled further improvements in those areas. Iconia is producing leading-edge naval ship designs and their components. Iconian shipyards and docks also have capacities for the largest supertankers on Kerbin. The Iconian naval industry designers excel at propulsion systems and hull design, providing unconventional and conventional ship designs for individual purposes.

The significant focus on electronics originally started after the Great War by a need for modern sensors and radar systems for the Imperial navy. During that time, the industry grew into the civil sector and is the second most prominent part of national production. The industry's military aspect has not been abandoned and continues to provide outstanding sensor and avionics technologies for the Iconian Defence Force and Iconian allies.

The significant focus on electronics originally started after the Great War by a need for modern sensors and radar systems for the Imperial navy. During that time, the industry grew into the civil sector and is the second most prominent part of national production. The electronics industry of the Iconian organizations is mainly fueled by the semiconductor supply from the Nuntic Union. However the processor and PCB assembly may be processed in Iconia, the appliances and production is important for the world electronic market consumption and vital to the concurrent industries of Iconia using these embedded and general purpose computation units and chips.  

Iconian aerospace industry is in the scale of things insignificant. It is producing light to medium civilian planes and light jet military aircraft. These mostly subsonic products were the basis for more advanced designs such as transonic and supersonic missile designs developed with the IKZ.

Iconian aerospace industry is in the scale of things insignificant. It was producing light to medium civilian planes and light jet military aircraft. However most of those capabilities were outsourced to Kolonian subsidies during the cold war. Nonetheless, these mostly subsonic products were the basis for still active engine research divisions based in Iconia designing advanced jet, ramjet and scram jet designs for the IKZ and other organizations.

There is a limited automotive industry in Iconia owned privately by foreign investors producing cars domestically, reducing transaction costs.

While having a large car industries during the war, globalization of the nation either acquired the companies or they bankrupted. Only the competitive and unique design of Trania chassis allowed the utility vehicle industry to prosper and have a sufficient market share in the world market. There is also a limited automotive industry in Iconia owned by foreign investors producing cars domestically and reducing transaction costs.

The Iconian pharmaceutical industry is quite advanced. It is supported and supplemented with the best students of most Iconian universities. Although its research is not always Nobel-prize winning, its research efforts in some areas are reaching world-leading levels.
