The Federation of Euro 200 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.678 billion Euro 200ians 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.7%.
The all-consuming Euro 200ian economy, worth 706 trillion Cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,758 Cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 361,597 per year while the poor average 22,741, a ratio of 15.9 to 1.
