The United States of Euro 004 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its smutty television, prohibition of alcohol, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.851 billion Euro 004ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.3%.
The all-consuming Euro 004ian economy, worth 852 trillion Cards 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. 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 an impressive 124,431 Cards, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.
Euro 004ian tourists are banned from many nations due to their tendency to randomly explode, citizens are constantly disappointed to find their nuisance neighbours are still alive, Harry Potter books are banned, and a few immigrants are better than no immigrants according to Leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Euro 004's national animal is the Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Euro 004 is ranked 194,920th in the world and 496th in Memeland United for Highest Food Quality, scoring 12.28 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
