The Moon of Dark Europa is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Jove Moonman with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 5.777 billion Dark Europans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brushles. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dark Europan economy, worth 558 trillion euromoons a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,740 euromoons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint, Brushles Preparatory School for the Exceedingly Wealthy's basketball team is having a few off-years, new research always seems to support government initiatives, and cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dark Europa's national animal is the Jovian Moon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Part-peacinity.

Dark Europa is ranked 233,572^nd in the world and 1,123^rd in Europe for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -5.37 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
