The strong Coatarican economy, worth 104 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Gambling, and Book Publishing. Average income is 63,418 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Coatarica's national animal is the Moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
