The very strong Sylvirian economy, worth 59.9 trillion Varis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,771 Varis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
