The Republic of Port Aransas is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, enslaved workforce, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.473 billion Port Aransasians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Aransas. The average income tax rate is 72.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Port Aransasian economy, worth a remarkable 1,438 trillion Silver daggers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Gambling, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 169,731 Silver daggers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Children have only the most basic of education, the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, abattoirs are running at full capacity in response to skyrocketing demand, and the nation tends not to learn from its history. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Port Aransas's national animal is the Mustang, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Port Aransas is ranked 37,768th in the world and 19th in Texas for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 5,112.68 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
