Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The United Socialist States of Europa and Albionia is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 225 million Europeans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant European economy, worth 4.22 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 18,767 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, foreign leaders are advising that Leader's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, and genocide is seen as a topic best avoided in history lessons. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Europa and Albionia's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Europa and Albionia is ranked 163,212^th in the world and 344^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,103.71 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
