The Economic Bloc of European-Union is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Natasa Vuckovic with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.038 billion Europeans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brussels. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish European economy, worth 265 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 led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 22,060 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

European-Union has designated Brussels as its capital city, lines of trenches demarcate the nation's borders, extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, and Super Barry Brothers is the most popular video game in the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. European-Union's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

European-Union is ranked 63,000^th in the world and 20^th in Greater Middle East for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.2 law-abiding acts per hour.
