Much of the province is entirely devoted to small-scale subsistence farming with the Church and a saftery net of traditional co-operatives protecting the livelihoods of small land owners and preventing the expanse of big business. The leading industries in Kinaan produce Tobacco ,beverages, butter, cement, edible oils, flour, refined sugar, soap, and textiles with over 40% of the provinces industry and manufacturing in the city of Belmonte. Along the northern coast of Cildania as a whole are large shipping and fishing industries and Kinaan has a number of major port cities. The Lear Tobacco Company based in Velieres has maintained several monopolies in Kinaan for one thousand years although oversight of the Apostolic Church of the Isles, a major shareholder has largely prevented it from abusing the monopoly.
