The larger of these is the Dhekelia Sovereign Base Area, which is also referred to as the Eastern Sovereign Base Area. | Economic development was spurred in the late 19th century with a railroad linkup to France and the opening of a casino.

The state retains monopolies in a number of sectors, including tobacco, the telephone network, and the postal service.
