The United Socialist States of Euro 209 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.538 billion Euro 209ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 51.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Euro 209ian economy, worth 758 trillion Cards a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 115,957 Cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Brains have been removed from lists of best brain foods, Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, Ravens are considered a delicacy, and park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Euro 209's national animal is the Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Euro 209 is ranked 146,747th in the world and 1,050th in Memeland United for Most Stationary, with 177.36306704312 days.
