The Free Land of Euro 107 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its public floggings, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 6.628 billion Euro 107ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 49.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Euro 107ian economy, worth 739 trillion Cards 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 111,563 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Children in school playgrounds can be heard chanting the hymns of the Order of Violet, evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right, "What's the Frequency, Leader?" is a favorite phrase of backyard radio broadcasters when interrupting official diplomatic channels, and the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Euro 107's national animal is the Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Euro 107 is ranked 33,911th in the world and 303rd in Memeland United for Lowest Crime Rates, with 80.51 law-abiding acts per hour.
