The Republic of Portsville is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 4.17 billion Portsvilleans 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Portsvillean economy, worth 584 trillion deniers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 140,190 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Preschoolers practice disarming active shooters before naptime, journalists giggle uncontrollably while reporting the nation's drug bonfires, both criminals and civilians are DOA, and P-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Portsville's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Portsville is ranked 8,869^th in the world and 10^th in Testregionia for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 23,529.12 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
