The Lively Fanatic of Unified Democratic Europe is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Bürgen Klopp with a fair hand, and notable for its frequent executions, unlimited-speed roads, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 9.927 billion Barlyyians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Banfield. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Barlyyian economy, worth a remarkable 4,350 trillion embassies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 438,209 embassies, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,039,962 per year while the poor average 4,771, a ratio of 846 to 1.

Even secular Barlyyians are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!", funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience, the nation leads the West Pacific in per capita stalking, and terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Unified Democratic Europe's national animal is the cruel angel, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Unified Democratic Europe is ranked 286,181st in the world and 3,582nd in the West Pacific for Safest, scoring 1.61 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
