The Exalted Republic of Port Flynt is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Earl of Rueben with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 6.979 billion Flyntons enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Shelbyville. The average income tax rate is 55.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Port Flyntian economy, worth a remarkable 1,215 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 174,214 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups, wind farms are erected on shuttered oil platforms, cheese has become the new icon of political dissent, and the government tells its citizens to 'forgive and forget'. Crime is totally unknown. Port Flynt's national animal is the Llama, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Flexible Deism.

Port Flynt is ranked 98,024^th in the world and 4,189^th in Lazarus for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,358.71 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
