The Federal Republic of Technocratic-european Countries is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Nathan Aurel with a fair hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, compulsory vegetarianism, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.875 billion europeans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Europia. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient european economy, worth a remarkable 1,710 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 217,166 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Saying 'Hi Guys' to a mixed gender group of people at work is a fireable offense, thalassophobia and heliophobia are on the rise, the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, and roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Technocratic-european Countries's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secularism.

Technocratic-european Countries is ranked 31,604^th in the world and 710^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,054.75 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
