The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 19.0%.

The IE-44ian economy, worth 22.7 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales.
