Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Shattered Halls of Euroslavia is a gargantuan, devout nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate population of 16.774 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Commerce, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arcadia. The average income tax rate is 97%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion, the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, military spending is on the increase, and tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Euroslavia's national animal is the king cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the grendel.

Euroslavia is ranked 1st in The Unforgiven and 1,417th in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 76 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
