The Borderlands of Euro 091 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its digital currency, prohibition of alcohol, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.635 billion Euro 091ians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 67.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Euro 091ian economy, worth 889 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, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. 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 134,043 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs, muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions, citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages, and Leader's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Euro 091's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Euro 091 is ranked 146,590th in the world and 932nd in Memeland United for Most Stationary, with 177.3668309296 days.
