Do in-decline tokens still defend a region, and do their lairs or mines keep working?

The rulebook's defence and Dwarf entries say in-decline tokens defend and mines keep paying.

Yes. In-decline tokens cannot attack, but they still defend a region, so an attacker must beat them. Carry-over abilities stay with the declined race: Dwarf mines keep paying, and a Troll Lair stays with declined Trolls. One reading says declined races cannot defend at all, but the rulebook's defence rules say otherwise.
