The Republic of Eutrophic is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning shoop population. The hard-nosed population of 3.077 billion Eutrophicians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 23.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Eutrophician economy, worth 123 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,013 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Children who display even minimal sporting aptitude are immediately assigned a personal trainer, nine-year-olds are discovering that they can grow gardens in real life too, tardiness has increased after carpooling was classified as a criminal offense, and holy matrimony has been wedded to an unwieldy bureaucracy. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eutrophic's national animal is the shoop.

Eutrophic is ranked 71,746^th in the world and 2^nd in Malachite for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,868.58 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
