The European Community of The EU is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, infamous sell-swords, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 15.696 billion Europeans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 9.1%.

The European economy, worth 789 trillion euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 50,279 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, the nation has become a pariah for giving pirates letters of marque, and surrealist houses shaped like mushrooms and volcanoes dominate the wealthiest neighborhoods. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. The EU's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The EU is ranked 40,824^th in the world and 1^st in The EU for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 5,337.7 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
