Understanding Euronion (You're-oh-knee-in)
The United Interstellar States of Euronion is a large nation with a population nearing four Billion people. The population are largely intelligent and conservative. The Literacy rate fluctuates between 99.7 and 99.9%.
The Government of Euronion is comprised of a tricameral legislature, an Executive Branch, a Limited Monarch, and a Judicial Branch. The original Pilgrims that founded Euronion were fleeing from a totalitarian communist regime in which they were being massacred. As such, the people of Euronion have a great resentment towards Communism and Socialism though the populace is slightly kinder towards fascism, though both are despised.
Every Euronion citizen is religious in some fashion, there are no Atheists in Euronion as the latest census showed. As it stands, 90% of Euronions are Catholic, 2% Jewish, 2% Muslim, 3% Orthodox, 2% Buddhist, and 1% Protestant. Many attribute the low protestant population to the outstanding integrity of the Catholic Churches in Euronion. The People of Euronion are largely capitalistic and the problems of poverty are in the process of being solved. As far as political and civil rights go, Euronion holds a World Assembly classification of Excellent in both categories, with an Economy ranking in at 99/100 on the W.A. classification scale.
The nation is also marked by very high socio-economic mobility. Euronion is most famously known for its wine exports and its compassionate populace who constantly try to better themselves through living out their freedoms and religious duties without fear and by constantly contributing to society. Euronion's size is enormous. The Euronion landmass takes up slightly under one third of the planet known as Castiana. Highly advanced in technology, Euronion recently accepted the latest addition to the Euronion Union, a Class-28A planet known as Keltar-34a and is looking forward to increasing its interstellar reach.
Although Euronion has endured much war, several from coup d'etat and others from just plain civil war, but also innumerable foreign wars, Euronion is now in a peaceful and dormant state, focused mainly on lowering taxes and cultural enrichment. However, the Euronion military has not been forsaken, far from it, the Euronion military receives 40% of Government spending which amounts to 64.57 trillion USD, the largest chunk of the Euronion budget, followed by Law and Order at 18% (29.09 trillion USD), Spirituality at 14% (22.6 trillion USD), Industry & Commerce at 13% (21 trillion USD), Education at 12% (19.38 trillion USD), and Public Transport at 2% (3.24 trillion USD); this of course discounts the State budgets. The Euronion Constitution gives the states relative autonomy.
The Current Euronion Government Currently there are 32 Euronion States, each with 20 districts at the least. There are currently 102 Senators, 640 Representatives, and 32 Councilors. The Government is dominated by the Euronion Republican Party and Euronion Constitutionalist Party with the Euronion Libertarian Party coming in as a competitive third party. The Euronion Republican Party currently holds the majority in all houses of legislature including the ProConsul, not enough however to override a filibuster.
Euronion Political Parties To Understand Euronion, one must understand the various political parties within it.
The Dominant Party which received 38.4% of the vote during the last election is the Euronion Republican Party. Stressing the ideals of traditionalism, social conservatism, spirituality, environmental conservatism, moderate taxes, Big Defense spending. moderated capitalism, and somewhat noticeable anti-Monarchism, the Euronion Republican Party is viewed vary favorably by Euronions.
The Euronion Constitutionalist Party, which received 35.1% of the vote are advocates of the free market, environmental conservationism, low taxes, Big Education Spending and Moderate Defense spending, strong supporters of freer society, and the Monarchy. While viewed as noble for their views on Civil Rights, their views on an entirely free market are somewhat disliked as are their views about the Monarchy, though their justification for their views are entirely the Constitutional which make them more favorable to the Euronion electorate.
The Euronion Liberatarian Party, which received 10.3% of the vote are advocates of a much freer society, only slightly anti-Monarchist and advocate acceptance for all under the law. While their view is popular among Euronions, several radicals in the party leadership have drawn most Euronions away from this party, especially since their views are held by almost all the parties. Their radical views on environmentalism also earn them a place among Euronion's not so desired.
The Euronion Nationalists Party, which received 6.4% of the vote are advocates of Large Military spending, light restrictions on the right to criticize the government, Manifest Destiny, a moderated capitalism, Huge Defense Spending, and Expansionism. Many Euronions think that the Nationalist Party is slightly too extreme for their tastes.
The Euronion Monarchist Party. which received 5.4% of the vote are advocates of anything the current Monarch advocates. The sole purpose of the Euronion Monarchist Party is to love the Monarchy, seek to make speaking out against the Monarch or insulting him or her a crime, to increase power to the Monarchy, and to bow to the wills of the Monarchy in most cases. Many Euronions view the party as too flimsy for their tastes, without any real policy or consistency. Many Euronions also value their right to free speech and for this reason do not agree with the Monarchist Party.
The Euronion Fascist Party. which received 2.0% of the vote are advocates of Facism. Mostly popular in the North in the small and secluded villages of Euronion, the Fascist Party is looked at as extremism by most Euronions. Many Fascists have threatened Civil War if their ideology is not heeded, but lack the organization between villages to do so. For this reason, the Euronion Intelligence Agency keeps close tabs on them.
The Euronion Anti-Imperialist Party, which received 1.3% of the vote are advocates of peace, anti-imperialism, and a freer market and freer civil liberties. The Anti-Imperialist Party is not popular at all in the eyes of Euronions due to staggering amount of "hippis" leading and involved in the party. This image was not helped by the fact that the ProConsul candidate for the Anti-Imperialist Party rode around in an American Volks Wagon transporter circa 1965 with flowers and peace signs painted on it for his campaign bus. Many Euronions also view it as Euronion's destiny to expand her influence and spread the ideals of Capitalism and Freedom to foreign nations.
The Euronion Labor Party, which received 1.0% of the vote advocate a peaceful and slow transition to Democratic Socialism. Hated by most Euronions, the Labor Party candidates have little hope of being elected to public office.
The Euronion Worker's Party, which received 0.1% of the vote advocate a communist revolution. Popular only in the deep South where the Capital of Communist Euronion resided in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Euronion Civil Wars, Communism is despised by 99.8% of Euronions. The Euronion constitution forbids a communist government and therefore members of the communist party advocate abolishing the constitution.
