The Social Republic of Portzania is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Raissa Carvalho with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.985 billion Portzanians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prento Cale. The average income tax rate is 81.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Portzanian economy, worth 476 trillion Grand Olives 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 Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. 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 159,537 Grand Olives, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, when the air force says "Black Hawk Down" they mean the feathers of the Portzanian dark-plume goshawk, the well-to-do in Fifth Empire are never on time for important appointments, and criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Portzania's national animal is the Weeping Flesh Hive, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Portzania is ranked 108,356th in the world and 26th in Fifth Empire for Most Stationary, with 371.49606779792 days.
