The Incorporated States of Euro 049 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, pith helmet sales, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.637 billion Euro 049ians 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, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. The average income tax rate is 48.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Euro 049ian economy, worth 896 trillion Cards a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 135,106 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
For the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews, many in Euro 049 are born in the purple, and the contraband cigarette trade is lighting up across Euro 049. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Euro 049's national animal is the Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Euro 049 is ranked 146,549th in the world and 890th in Memeland United for Most Stationary, with 177.3683934286 days.
