The Outer Planets of Europa Undivided is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Supreme Chancellor Avasarala with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, devout population of 10.441 billion Europans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Geneva. The average income tax rate is 39.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Europan economy, worth a remarkable 1,506 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,325 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

A valid legal defense is 'dead men tell no tales', the number of judges has tripled in recent months, children asking questions about science are referred to relevant sections in religious texts, and children are often punished for the sins of the fathers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Europa Undivided's national animal is the Landkreuzer and its national religion is Christianity.

Europa Undivided is ranked 221,264^th in the world and 85^th in Union of Christian Nations for Nicest Citizens, with 6.84 average smiles per day.
