The Island of Euboea is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, devout population of 9.117 billion Euboeans 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 relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chalcis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.
The very strong Euboean economy, worth 579 trillion drachmas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Gambling, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 63,548 drachmas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 194,127 per year while the poor average 16,124, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.
Euboea has designated Chalcis as its capital city, Leader has just been declared ruler of Euboea in an international press conference, untold millions of drachmas are going into a new government-funded maternity leave scheme, and a major religion has been named as Euboea's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Euboea's national animal is the kangaroo, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Euboea is ranked 113,602nd in the world and 2nd in Attica for Healthiest Citizens, with 2 bananas ingested per day.
