The United Communes of Eurocom is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, sprawling nuclear power plants, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.001 billion Eurocoms are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paris. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Eurocom economy, worth 578 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 192,605 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children dream of becoming physicians and physicists, convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm, and builders across Eurocom are blocked up with orders for new public loos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eurocom's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secularism.

Eurocom is ranked 283,994^th in the world and 6,088^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -14.14 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
