The International Conglomerate of The European Capitalist League is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Stefan Ritter with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, frequent executions, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.723 billion Europeans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.3%.

The frighteningly efficient European economy, worth 625 trillion Euros a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 132,461 Euros, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 523,329 per year while the poor average 22,699, a ratio of 23.1 to 1.

Body doubles and armed bodyguards escort witnesses to and from courtrooms, grannies with arthritic hands work miserably on factory production lines, the government has little issue with allowing its citizens to languish in foreign jails, and abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The European Capitalist League's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Capitalism.

The European Capitalist League is ranked 25,244^th in the world and 1,321^st in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 7,665.53 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
