The Confederacy of Eu5 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, infamous sell-swords, and lack of airports. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.927 billion Eu5ians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Public Transport, and Environment. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.

The very strong Eu5ian economy, worth 102 trillion Ducats a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 53,056 Ducats, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 186,956 per year while the poor average 10,897, a ratio of 17.2 to 1.

Leader is too busy listening to praise to get any work done, immigrants are told to pull themselves up by their worn-out budget bootstraps, people caught mistreating Eu5's flag generally wind up in a great deal of pain, and there's more hugging than talking in most talk shows. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Eu5's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eu5 is ranked 296,752^nd in the world and 52^nd in Swabia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,280.13 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
