The strong Ioke 45ian economy, worth 202 trillion salts a year, is highly specialized and dominated by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,227 salts, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 147,249 per year while the poor average 3,575, a ratio of 41.2 to 1.
