The Disputed Territories of EuroShanghai is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by King Ian Melnish with an even hand, and renowned for its suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 10.442 billion EuroShanghaians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The relatively small, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 19.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped EuroShanghaian economy, worth 294 trillion Latinums a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Gambling, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 28,179 Latinums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes, King Ian Melnish has just been declared ruler of EuroShanghai in an international press conference, and EuroShanghai has designated EuroShanghai City as its capital city. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. EuroShanghai's national animal is the Wolf.

EuroShanghai is ranked 115,395^th in the world and 52^nd in matheo for Most Primitive, scoring -30.82 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
