The Republic of Europeia is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.321 billion Europeians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 58.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but underdeveloped Europeian economy, worth 42.4 trillion jortcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 32,064 jortcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps, five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, and worried-looking neonatal nurses are being deployed in place of SWAT teams during dangerous drug busts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Europeia's national animal is the sloth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Europeia is ranked 95,337th in the world and 651st in Europeia for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
