The Allied States of Euro 185 is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, ban on automobiles, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.708 billion Euro 185ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 72.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Euro 185ian economy, worth 742 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 black market in Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 110,704 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.
Shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, there is no rest for the widowed, large sections of Euro 185 have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there, and power to the people comes from the barrel of a gun. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Euro 185's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Euro 185 is ranked 39,091st in the world and 381st in Memeland United for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.08 law-abiding acts per hour.
