 Economic backing, what of it there is, comes primarily out of various ISO communities in Forsaken space and locally targeted resources funneled from other groups who benefit from destabilizations in various regions of Confed space.  The ISO survives because they have been long perceived as more a nuisance than a dire threat, and because the Confed has been unwilling to expend the political capital necessary to undertake such large scale military operations in Forsaken space, especially considering the longstanding bitterness of the Forsaken has held for the Confed.
