Rebirth + Riches- explanation
Archenland: Since Archenland is described as a mountainous country with many types of trees, I thought metal ore and timber would be two things they'd export. The strong wine is directly mentioned in VDT as a provision Caspian brings on the ship.
Calormen: Members of the Calormene aristocracy seem to be dripping in jewels (i.e. the Tisroc) and the country seems to contain many foods not really mentioned elsewhere (Almonds, Figs, Oranges, Melons and Lobsters). Tarkaan Anradin's beard is coated in scented oil, and Lasaraleen vacations at the "Valley of a Thousand Perfumes".
Lone Islands: Since Felimath is a place where lots of sheep grazed, i
In the name of Aslan, I sing to thee.
I sing to thee of victory.
Of winter's passing beyond the land
and the coming of the chosen Four.
The tyrant Jadis, cold and cruel.
Cold as ever-falling snow.
Her hundred years of fear and malice
seemed to stretch for ten times more.
Yet salvation came for one and all
and light dispelled to the cloak of night.
From far beyond the world of known
came Adam's race in four young souls.
Leading the charge with sword in hand,
High King Peter met her ranks.
With young King Edmund at his side
and Aslan's name upon his lips.

help arrived at Aslan's side.

The Lay of Caspian the Seafarer
Oh, Caspian, he was a king.
Joy to Narnia he did bring.
In war and peace, from wood to sea,
Of him the poets still do sing.
A promise to the lion made,
To seek the lords who were betrayed,
Forced to sea and forced to sail,
And for their deaths to be repaid.
He sailed to islands through the swell
To make sure everything was well.
Galma, Terebinthia,
And the Seven Isles had naught to tell.
Lone islands, last before the sea,
He found abhorrent slavery.
He made lord Bern into a duke,
And declared all captives fair and free.
Waves and wind and rain endured,
He made his way into a fjord.
Dragons, treasure, and repair,

He is the first and greatest of the Golden rulers.
Fierce in battle, yet gentle to the meekest of creatures.
His great sword pierces the hearts of those who threaten his kingdom,
and his noble shield safeguards the innocent like a beast to its cub.
With the strength and courage of the mighty oak,
this magnificent king outshone all who came before him,
as well as any that would succeed him.
Her beauty mirrors the moon and stars.
Raven hair flowing and rippling like the course of the Great River.
Her arrows fly unbound by the wind,
and her sacred horn shall assist all who blow upon it.
As radiant as the silken petals of the daffodil,
