The Empire State of Protestant Europa is a massive, safe nation, ruled by The Lion of Orange with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, prohibition of alcohol, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed population of 1.385 billion Dutch are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amsterdam. The average income tax rate is 46.0%.

The powerhouse European economy, worth 123 trillion Euros 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, 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 89,520 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Colonial citizens are forced to sing the praise of the "Great European Liberator", retiring citizens are dragged away in the middle of the night by mysterious men in black suits, candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED, and most believe it doesn't hurt to embrace free trade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Protestant Europa's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Protestant Europa is ranked 194,686^th in the world and 8,026^th in Osiris for Largest Populations, with 1.39 billion capita.
