Quick extract:
"Norrath, the setting for the online game Everquest, has been
found to be the 77th richest country in the world, sandwiched
between Russia and Bulgaria. [...] Research carried out in the
United States shows that virtual internal markets, combined with
illegal online trading on auction websites, mean that Norrath has
a gross national product per capita of $2,266, bigger than China
and India."
