The People's Republic of Europan Free states is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 227 million Europan Free statesians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Europan Free statesian economy, worth 15.2 trillion Euros 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 66,900 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's leading climatologists are investigating animal flatulence in efforts to reduce methane emissions, citizens are less concerned with policy and more concerned with whether politicians "call 'em like they see 'em", funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience, and satellite images show safe electoral constituencies in complete darkness. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Europan Free states's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Europan Free states is ranked 53,395^th in the world and 779^th in The Communist Bloc for Lowest Crime Rates, with 73.37 law-abiding acts per hour.
