The Allied States of Eutterpe is a mid-sized, efficient nation, notable for its burgeoning Aster population. The hard-working population of 90 million Eutterpeans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.
The medium-sized, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.6%.
The very strong Eutterpean economy, worth 4.55 trillion Asters a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Trout Farming. Average income is 50,602 Asters, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 154,579 per year while the poor average 12,839, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.
Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Eutterpe's national animal is the Aster.
Eutterpe is ranked 164,132nd in the world and 7th in Asteroid Belt for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 358.58 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
