Economic

Currency: Cascadian Dollar ($) Population: 24,878,563 (as of 2005 census) GDP: $1.24 trillion, $49,842 per capita Major Industries: Biotech, Fishing, Logging, Shipbuilding, Computer Technology, assorted agricultural capability, Aerospace Major Imports: Oil, various raw materials. Energy Information: Modern power grid. Hydroelectric dams on the Columbia, lower Yukon, and Cascade Rivers, as well as minor rivers, provide 42% of the nation's power. Geo-thermal facilities provide another 10%. Nuclear reactors provide 30% and increasing due to the uranium deposits from the Upper Cascades (the mines produce barely enough to meet demand, importation of uranium will likely be necessary before long), leaving just 18% of the power demand to be filled by remaining coal, gas, and oil-burning plants. The long-term Peak Oil Preperation Project by the Republic and private energy-providers calls for continued expansion of hydroelectric, geothermal, and nuclear power generation.
