The Flowering nation of Yourope is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Deborah Williams with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.304 billion Flops hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flopdon. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Youropean economy, worth 705 trillion EUF Francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 213,555 EUF Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint, polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, the government's foreign policy statements are less threatening than a World Assembly cease-and-desist letter, and the nation is currently revamping its entire education system. Crime is totally unknown. Yourope's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yourope is ranked 3,992^nd in the world and 89^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,638.71 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
