The Grand Duchy of Eurgenburg is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, parental licensing program, and national health service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.067 billion Eurgenburgians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 65.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Eurgenburgian economy, worth 127 trillion Rials a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 119,698 Rials, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 425,195 per year while the poor average 24,283, a ratio of 17.5 to 1.

Naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure, ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, and space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eurgenburg's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Eurgenburg is ranked 78,280^th in the world and 1,772^nd in The North Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 21.34 kickbacks per hour.
