The Flowering nation of Yourope is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Deborah Williams with a fair hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.317 billion Flops hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flopdon. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Youropean economy, worth 713 trillion EUF Francs 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 215,143 EUF Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hostage-takers offer loyalty scheme points for prompt payment, community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common, royalist is the most offensive slur in the Youropean language, and libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars. Crime is totally unknown. Yourope's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yourope is ranked 2,209^th in the world and 43^rd in Europe for Safest, scoring 145.99 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
