The Federal Republic of Technocratic-european Countries is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Nathan Aurel with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.855 billion europeans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Europia. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient european economy, worth a remarkable 1,704 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 217,000 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year, an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, endangered species face obesity instead of extinction, and children are often punished for the sins of the fathers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Technocratic-european Countries's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secularism.

Technocratic-european Countries is ranked 2,274^th in the world and 79^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 20,342.86 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
