The economy of the Inquisition is a mixed economy with a strong religious approach dictated by the Yunyalīlti worldview. This is a substantial difference as key aspects of Chlouvānem daily life - mirrored in economy - are the emphasis on environmentally sustainable policies, minimization of non-basic needs, and collective instead of individual interest. A key difference is that, in Yunyalīlti economics, the focus is not on gaining (profit), but on minimizing losses (to the environment); this is typically resumed by Chlouvānem philosophers as pursuing spiritual wealth in opposition to material wealth. For this reason, it is difficult to properly analyze this type of economy by means of indexes such as GNP, as they don't analyze Chlouvānem economy in its entirety.<br/> | The economy of the Inquisition is a mixed economy with a strong religious approach dictated by the Yunyalīlti worldview.

Structurally, being the Inquisition a theocracy, this means that the state is omnipresent in the economy, having a practical monopoly in almost all sectors, most notably heavy industry, as well as extraction and sale of raw materials. Agriculture is divided between large state farms (''yanadhartānai'', sg. ''yanadhartāna'') and collective farms (''camūdhartānai'', sg. ''camūdhartāna''), with a minor role played by private gardens (including those of schools); private enterprise is limited to artisanship (which, however, remains an important part of the economy, especially in sectors such as clothing production), some service agencies, and to some extent in electronic consumer goods - a sector where privates usually design phones, computers, etc. and develop their softwares but the material products are built in state factories. Private light industry (small manufacturing), does exist, albeit in far smaller quantities than in other countries and almost always with some degree of state control, and has been a growing sector ever since the fall of the Kaiṣamā. The state can however control basically everything through the six-year development plans and also through tax incentives or, notably, controls by religious police in order to block "heretic" economic activities; the emerging of rich people through exploitment of the capitalist elements of the private sector is strongly limited by the taxation system, which forbids people from having more than a certain value of personal assets, with everything gained over that amount having to be surrendered to the state. | Structurally, being the Inquisition a theocracy, this means that the state is omnipresent in the economy, having a practical monopoly in almost all sectors, most notably heavy industry, as well as extraction and sale of raw materials.
