The Federal Republic of Euro 073 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.739 billion Euro 073ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 59.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Euro 073ian economy, worth 865 trillion Cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 128,497 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.
The tools of the trade for landmine clearance appear to be copious amounts of gasoline and a box of matches, pop sensation "Jack and the Holograms" is storming the charts, the government invades its allies more than its enemies, and a tax exemption has created a new hunger for octogenarian millionaires dating women 60 years their younger. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Euro 073's national animal is the Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Euro 073 is ranked 41,240th in the world and 426th in Memeland United for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.19 law-abiding acts per hour.
