Nevada's official nickname is "The Silver State". Other nicknames include "The Sagebrush State" and "The Battle-Born State", and the state's motto is "All for Our Country," and the state song is "Home Means Nevada" by Bertha Rafetto. The phrase "Battle Born" is on the state flag.
In 2005, the state issued a specialty license plate via the Nevada Commission on Tourism that lists the name of the state as Nev%u0103da to help with the pronunciation problem.

Nevada industry
Mining shaped Nevada's economy for many years. Although, in the late 19th century, Nevada found it increasingly more difficult to compete with states such as Colorado and Utah in the mining industry.There was even talk of stripping away statehood, the only time in American history such an action was discussed in Congress[citation needed]. However, the rich silver strike at Tonopah in 1900 is thought to have saved the state from near collapse. This was followed by strikes in Goldfield and Rhyolite, lasting well into the 1910s and making Nevada a dominant player in mining once again.
Nevada economy
The Bureau of Economic Analysis estimates that Nevada's total state product in 2003 was $88 billion. Per capita personal income in 2003 was $31,910, 19th in the nation. Its agricultural outputs are cattle, hay, alfalfa, dairy products, onions and potatoes. Its industrial outputs are tourism, mining, machinery, printing and publishing, food processing, and electric equipment. It is well-known for gambling and prostitution (though the latter is illegal in Clark County). Large, luxurious casinos in Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe and Reno attract visitors from around the world.
