The Federation of Euro 014 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its public floggings, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 6.736 billion Euro 014ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 56.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Euro 014ian economy, worth 938 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, Woodchip Exports, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. 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 139,342 Cards, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.
The recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", minorities play dumb to get more welfare payments, and travelers often bring empty plastic bottles on Air Euro 014 flights to avoid the pay lavatories. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Euro 014's national animal is the Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Euro 014 is ranked 39,753rd in the world and 393rd in Memeland United for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.8 law-abiding acts per hour.
