The United Kingdom of Eruopia is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Octavious Posidon Montague with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.409 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Education and Law & Order are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zathoria. The average income tax rate is 98%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Book Publishing and Gambling.

Referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population, untold millions of Eruopas are going into a new government-funded maternity leave scheme, the government seizes all major gold finds, and the workforce is almost entirely made up of slave labour. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eruopia's national animal is the Dragon Steed, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Veronaism, and its currency is the Eruopa.

Eruopia is ranked 414th in The East Pacific and 15,842nd in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 48 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
