The Grand Commonwealth of Euterpee is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Marble Lady Ester Alexandra II with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, national health service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 2.092 billion Euterpeeans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Penelope - Αγία Πηνελόπη. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Euterpeean economy, worth 343 trillion Euterpeenian Franks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 163,864 Euterpeenian Franks, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons, ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, and corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Euterpee's national animal is the Indigo Orca, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Euterpee is ranked 18,166^th in the world and 17^th in Aeternum for Most Developed, scoring 87.56 on the Human Development Index.
