The Liberal Oligarchy of EuroCon is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Sarra Recis with an iron fist, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 15.932 billion Europeans enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helvetica. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The very strong European economy, worth 997 trillion Euros a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 62,622 Euros, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 284,998 per year while the poor average 8,412, a ratio of 33.9 to 1.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, EuroCon has designated Helvetica as its capital city, Sarra Recis has just been declared ruler of EuroCon in an international press conference, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. EuroCon's national animal is the Sparrowhawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

EuroCon is ranked 280,492nd in the world and 26th in Rosaceae Sanguinare for Lowest Crime Rates, with 38.69 law-abiding acts per hour.
