The TechnoSoc Federation of GamesCell is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Chairman Neo with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, cheerful population of 10.162 billion Europeans are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hauptstadt Europa. The average income tax rate is 91.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient European economy, worth a remarkable 3,053 trillion Euromarks a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 300,502 Euromarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Torture is illegal, weapons produced by newly nationalized armaments factories have been found to contain sawdust instead of gunpowder, every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver, and the government believes there is no problem that raising taxes won't fix. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. GamesCell's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

GamesCell is ranked 4,210^th in the world and 184^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 61.83 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
