Early public prototype - real EU friction, fictionalized gameplay, not legal advice.
Europe Simulator
Ordinary initiative meets registration, permits, VAT, customs identifiers, CE paperwork, and privacy obligations.
Grounding rule
No invented blockers
Every scenario obstacle must map to a real EU or member-state procedure pattern, then be compressed into satire without copying official forms or giving legal advice.
- Residence registration after three months can require proof of self-employed status.
- Business setup is encouraged to be fast and online, while national rules, permits, VAT, and PSC handoffs still vary.
- Physical products can trigger technical files, declarations of conformity, EORI, packaging, waste, and marking duties.
- Preference apps can trigger GDPR consent, access, portability, erasure, DPO, DPIA, and breach-response work.
Register as Self-Employed After Moving Within the EU
Starter scenario is now source-grounded: residence certificate, proof of self-employment, business registration, permits, VAT obligations, and portal handoffs.
