The United Socialist States of Pax Eurafrasia is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its hatred of cheese, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 16 million Pax Eurafrasians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The imploded Pax Eurafrasian economy, worth 123 billion Pan-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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 7,722 Pan-euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, producers insist that movie stars wear crash helmets in every scene, government buildings are being cleansed of anything that might have racist connotations, and newspaper stories fill several pages with colorful adjectives. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pax Eurafrasia's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Pax Eurafrasia is ranked 296,902^nd in the world and 668^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Developed, scoring 45.6 on the Human Development Index.
