The Dominion of Euro 197 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its soft-spoken computers, disturbing lack of elderly people, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 6.508 billion Euro 197ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 71.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Euro 197ian economy, worth 713 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, quite specialized 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 109,569 Cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Builders across Euro 197 are blocked up with orders for new public loos, the military has grudgingly released all top secret information in an effort for greater transparency, teachers regularly paddle unruly students, and Euro 197's fine wines are renowned throughout the region. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Euro 197's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Euro 197 is ranked 146,735th in the world and 1,038th in Memeland United for Most Stationary, with 177.36331009852 days.
