The Holy Empire of Europ3 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, pith helmet sales, and compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.101 billion Europ3ians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vienna. The average income tax rate is 38.8%.

The Europ3ian economy, worth 57.1 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 51,816 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Babies are a small but significant export, Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, the government prefers to kill off its enemies by peaceful means, and citizens complain about a burning sensation after bathing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Europ3's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Europ3 is ranked 152,734^th in the world and 8,229^th in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 7.01 Obesity Rate.
