The Sereníssimo of Reino de Portvgal is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dom Mário V with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 5.932 billion Portuguese are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Granada. The average income tax rate is 8.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Portuguese economy, worth a remarkable 1,559 trillion Reais a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 262,961 Reais, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Government bureaucrats devote many man-hours to trying to measure unquantifiables, chalkboards are replaced with billboards in the classroom, the government seizes all major gold finds, and a third of Portuguese are e-certified CEOs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Reino de Portvgal's national animal is the Black Pig, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Reino de Portvgal is ranked 38,192^nd in the world and 37^th in Portugal for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,399.01 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
