Local economies such as Orlando, Florida or the beltway in Virginia are now dominated by simulation corporations that blend military, research and entertainment dimensions. In Orlando alone there are around a hundred military-simulator firms which generate some 17,000 jobs, and are starting to rival Disney as a local economic force.
