The Armed Republic of Euro 026 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed population of 6.602 billion Euro 026ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 65.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Euro 026ian economy, worth 766 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. 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 116,115 Cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, and the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Euro 026 City Times is sold out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Euro 026's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Euro 026 is ranked 146,526th in the world and 867th in Memeland United for Most Stationary, with 177.36900453932 days.
