The powerhouse Usonian economy, worth 230 trillion Usonian Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 88,379 Usonian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
