The Dictatorship of Euaio is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Saint Thomas the Great with an even hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 16.34 billion Euaioans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Dragon City. The average income tax rate is 75.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Euaioan economy, worth 327 trillion kronor 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 dominated by the Pizza Delivery industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Gambling. Average income is 20,057 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Immigrants are required to salute the flag five times a day, depression sinks in after each election when voters realize they are stuck with these people for years, smoking is banned in public areas, and political shows are fit for purpose. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Euaio's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Ancient Paganism.

Euaio is ranked 43,147^th in the world and 2^nd in The Academy for Nicest Citizens, with 18.02 average smiles per day.
