The United States of Mega Europe is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.123 billion Mega Europeans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brussels. The average income tax rate is 76.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mega European economy, worth 156 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 139,502 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", fat-shaming is now public policy, and drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mega Europe's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Mega Europe is ranked 64,157th in the world and 1,389th in the South Pacific for Safest, scoring 98.43 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
