The Rather Unusual Madhouse of Barbarian Europe is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Earl Sigismund of Barba with an iron fist, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, zero percent divorce rate, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.82 billion Barbarians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Spirituality and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.5%.

The powerhouse European economy, worth a remarkable 1,054 trillion fingerbones a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 97,454 fingerbones, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 791,222 per year while the poor average 2,650, a ratio of 298 to 1.

Barbarian Europe-made cars tend to catch fire in people's driveways, the vulture is believed to be extinct, the government is seen to favor Catholics, and thieves are flogged in public for their crimes. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Barbarian Europe's national animal is the vulture, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Barbarian Europe is ranked 1,836^th in the world and 1^st in The Atheist Empire for Fattest Citizens, with 47.86 Obesity Rate.
