The Allegedly Real Person of Porflox is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Creativity with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, digital currency, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 8.712 billion Porfloxians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Industry, although Education, Defense, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Starlight City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Porfloxian economy, worth a remarkable 3,024 trillion Popis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 347,164 Popis, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,895,925 per year while the poor average 8,175, a ratio of 354 to 1.

Children grow up believing the sun to be a myth, solving crossword puzzles requires fluency in at least five languages, homeless people can be found sleeping on streets in front of unoccupied second homes, and the government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Porflox's national animal is the KOALA, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Koalaism.

Porflox is ranked 216,387th in the world and 584th in 10000 Islands for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 34.11 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
