The frighteningly efficient Inevan economy, worth a remarkable 1,499 trillion Avens a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 255,154 Avens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
