The Project of EU is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Herman van Rompuy with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, enslaved workforce, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 31.461 billion EUians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brussels. The average income tax rate is 58.1%.

The frighteningly efficient EUian economy, worth a remarkable 4,410 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 large, well-organized black market in Book Publishing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 an impressive 140,191 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Domestic fishermen fly the EUian flag out of fear of being blown up, EUians ask their doctors whether chili peppers are right for them, requests for government aid can be forwarded to the beach, and the house always wins. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. EU's national animal is the PIIGS, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

EU is ranked 75,000th in the world and 80th in United Kingdom for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 58.08 Effective Tax Rate.
