The large but inefficient Stephendan economy, worth 327 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,790 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
