The Dominion of Euro 250 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.736 billion Euro 250ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Euro 250ian economy, worth 837 trillion Cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,299 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Creating dance remixes is the newest form of conspicuous consumption, romantic sunsets are no longer interrupted by explosions and monstrous roars, a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, and edgy teens know that illegal discos are where the cool cats hang. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Euro 250's national animal is the Raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Euro 250 is ranked 269,935^th in the world and 866^th in Memeland United for Most Beautiful Environments, with 63.04 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
