Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The People's Republic of Euro 022 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.336 billion Euro 022ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 56.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Euro 022ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,171 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, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. 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 140,564 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, smoking is banned in public areas, all industry is owned and run by the government, and only those who apply can study applied maths. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Euro 022's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Euro 022 is ranked 47,305^th in the world and 139^th in The Peoples Republic Of Lazarus for Largest Governments, scoring 22.93 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
