The United Kingdom of Euro 077 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, fear of technology, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.741 billion Euro 077ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Euro 077ian economy, worth 818 trillion Cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,354 Cards, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.
The only things written in the stars are arrest warrants for astrologers, scientists are not permitted to ask questions, criticism of Leader is considered unpatriotic, and it is typical to be greeted by a string of curse words in Euro 077ian restaurants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Euro 077's national animal is the Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Euro 077 is ranked 34,363rd in the world and 309th in Memeland United for Lowest Crime Rates, with 80.29 law-abiding acts per hour.
