Talk:Kansas (An Independent in 2000)

Here's my idea for the economy in heartland. (note: I do not have an account)

Economy
The 2008 total gross state product for Heartland was $451.5 billion, placing it 10th in the nation behind California, Texas, New York, Cascadia, Alaska, Aztlan, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and New Mexico. The per capita income was $82,702, 15th in the nation after Dixie. Although Heartland was best known for its agriculture industry (wheat, corn, soybean, cattle, etc.) as the nation's breadbasket due to the perfect climate, it is also known for its mining (oil, coal, natural gas, etc), transportation equipment, printed materials, textiles, tourism, aircraft and spacecraft, steel, electronics, biotechnology, automobiles, and plastics. The state is rich in potential wind and solar energy, and has been developed by the state to reduce emissions.
