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."
