The thriving Torturian economy, worth 160 trillion Zoltoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,626 Zoltoes, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.
