The Biohazardous Detective of Euricanis is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Spite with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 15.815 billion Euricians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Eurician economy, worth a remarkable 2,532 trillion canisters of EoE a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 160,156 canisters of EoE, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's foreign policy statements are less threatening than a World Assembly cease-and-desist letter, Spite's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental, and truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Euricanis's national animal is the ban evader, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Constant Population Reduction.

Euricanis is ranked 6,703^rd in the world and 167^th in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 13,072.1 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
