The Grand Duchy of Porto Verde is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Gonzalo Williams with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 11.193 billion Verdeans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lago Verde City. The average income tax rate is 9.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Porto Verdean economy, worth 515 trillion Pesos a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,038 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
The entire entry for Porto Verde in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, eight out of ten children believe hard lemonade gives you cirrhosis of the liver, and you need two tenors and a coloratura contralto to sing the national anthem properly. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Porto Verde's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.
Porto Verde is ranked 102,431st in the world and 23rd in The Democratic Republic for Most Cultured, scoring 66 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
