Description

Have you ever imagined what the perfect European country would look like? A place where the best of the continent comes together-not just in theory, but in a fully imagined land that captures the spirit, efficiency, and soul of Europe at its very finest.

Welcome to Europland-a thought-provoking, witty, and deeply insightful journey through the patchwork of Europe's most admired traits. In this captivating exploration, author Raymond Stark doesn't just compare countries-he curates them. Europland is what happens when you blend the culture of Italy, the cuisine of Greece, the digital-savvy administration of Estonia, and the stress-free aging model of Spain.

Picture living among the Norwegian sparsity of population, surrounded by the Dutch infrastructure, under the Portuguese sun, while enjoying a lifestyle as open and balanced as the Danish work ethic. Your cost of living? Bulgarian-level affordable. Your standard of living? Austrian high.

But this isn't just armchair travel-it's an investigation into what makes societies thrive. Stark draws on data, anecdotes, and cultural insights to build a blueprint of a place that doesn't yet exist... but maybe should. Along the way, you'll reflect on your own national identity, confront the contradictions of modern Europe, and entertain the idea that perfection might lie in picking the best pieces from everywhere.

Europland is not a utopia-it's a mirror. A hopeful, sharp, and compelling look at how we could live if borders didn't limit brilliance.

Whether you're a traveler, a policy thinker, or just someone who loves daydreaming about the good life, this book will make you ask: What if we really could have it all?
