The Federal Republic of Europa is a safe, economically stunning nation. It is relatively young (40 days as of March 16, 2006), but had skyrocketing economic growth for the past 20 days. Currently ruled by Mars05, it is a member of GATO and the Global Red Cross.

Europa's official language is German, which also makes up the largest Ethnic Group. However, Europa vehemently denies accusations of racism or intolerance, comments which are often brought up in light of Europa's closed-border immigration policy.

The nation has become the subject of extremely controversial speeches by other nations, after it announced recent plans to pursue nuclear weapons technology. Citizens, however, remain happy to live in Europa - even after the nation faced a short, one-day assault by a jealous neighbor.

History and Demographics

The Latvaria-Europa War

On the 10th of March, 2006, at approximately 8:45pm, the sovereign and peaceful nation of Europa fell victim to a brutal (and unprovoked) attack by the nation of Latvaria, led by the dictator VictorVanDoom. Europa, not expecting a war on their land, quickly had their entire defensive and economical system crippled: One of two Guard-Tanks, positioned on Europa Hill, was quickly destroyed by a cruise missile bombing, launched by the terrorist state of Latvaria.

Paratroopers followed, meeting almost no resistance. As the first wave of Latvarian Terror-Squads razed through Europa's barracks, 78 soldiers were shot while sleeping. Military on guard were only able to eliminate 9 enemy soldiers. An hour later, the second wave of Latvarians ambushed major military stations. However, this attack was quickly repelled as the remaining European forces rallied to defend their nation. With help from the remaining Guard-Tank, as well as all woken soldiers, the Nation of Europa was able to destroy 3 enemy tanks, and kill 66 enemy soldiers.

Realizing the fact that they had chosen a too strong opponent to deal with, the Latvarian Dictatorship drew back their forces and called for a cease-fire. This cease-fire was agreed on by Mars05.

The aftermath was deadly: Mars05 suffered a huge drop in approvement-ratings and was publicly loathed. The average income of all individuals sunk to less than 20 Euros per day, and as riots burned across the Houses of Government, population happiness decreased bitterly.

Seeking help, the nation of Europa, following the request of Mars05, applied for membership with the Global Alliance and Treaty Organization (GATO]). Having been approved, and with military having quelled most of the riots, things looked upwards. After major investments in the reconstruction of Infrastructure, economic boom followed upon economic boom.

Today, Europa is as bright as ever, though memories of the Night of Terror remain.
