The United Socialist States of Europa and Albionia is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 283 million Europeans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rhydychen. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish European economy, worth 7.86 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 27,783 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines, tourists on boat cruises can't figure out why they smell so fishy afterward, enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Europa and Albionia's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Europa and Albionia is ranked 240,814^th in the world and 340^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Populations, with 283 million capita.
