The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 22.5%.

The Starry Lizardian economy, worth 72.0 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Tourism, and Retail.
