The Republic of The Portuguese Workers is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Glorioso Camarada Bruno with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 30.779 billion Portuguese Workersians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Porto. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Portuguese Workersian economy, worth a remarkable 7,239 trillion escudoes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 235,205 escudoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Turning the other cheek is accompanied by a polite letter of complaint, engineers preemptively order lawyers after every power cut, homophobia is off the menu, and economic output is rising as the chronically depressed are persuaded not to burden society. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Portuguese Workers's national animal is the laughing cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Portuguese Workers is ranked 316,655^th in the world and 132^nd in Portugal for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -49.83 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
