The Commonwealth of United Federated European States is a very large, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 338 million Europeans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The thriving European economy, worth 25.5 trillion Euros a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 75,495 Euros, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 213,106 per year while the poor average 21,409, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

Collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, and triple black diamond is the only ski difficulty. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. United Federated European States's national animal is the Brown Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

United Federated European States is ranked 82,366^th in the world and 4^th in The European Continent for Fattest Citizens, with 11.95 Obesity Rate.
