The Soviet Republic of GanymedEuropa is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Ísey Laufásvegur with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.58 billion GanymedEuropans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Callistopolis. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient GanymedEuropan economy, worth a remarkable 1,590 trillion GanymedEuros 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an amazing 241,772 GanymedEuros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Thousands of children die every day from easily curable illnesses, the nation's healthcare system has taken a "survival of the fittest" approach in administering care, every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, and the nation leads Europe in per capita stalking. Crime is totally unknown. GanymedEuropa's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

GanymedEuropa is ranked 16,154^th in the world and 27^th in Europe for Highest Drug Use, scoring 115.2 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
