The Empire of Portugal Empire State is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Ford York with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.092 billion Portugal Empire Stateans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Viseu. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Portugal Empire Statean economy, worth 430 trillion Euros 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. 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 139,070 Euros, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 398,735 per year while the poor average 38,592, a ratio of 10.3 to 1.

Soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot are regarded as heroes, Portugal Empire Statean husbands are dead good at fathering kids, the immigration office has an express line for people bringing cash in briefcases, and Ford York's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Portugal Empire State's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Portugal Empire State is ranked 139,260th in the world and 1st in The Wonder Region for Most Stationary, with 214.25650870908 days.
