The Federal Republic of Euro 187 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its enslaved workforce, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.795 billion Euro 187ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Euro 187ian economy, worth 759 trillion Cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 111,840 Cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 333,031 per year while the poor average 29,428, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.
The government has declared that sharing is uncaring, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, people accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety, and a handful of megacorporations own every "craft brewery" in the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Euro 187's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Euro 187 is ranked 78,895th in the world and 580th in Memeland United for Largest Populations, with 6.79 billion capita.
