The Free Land of Port Myreal is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 31.862 billion Port Myrelians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government is effectively ruled by the Department of Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Industry are also considered important, while Law & Order and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Town. The average income tax rate is 42.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Port Myrelian economy, worth a remarkable 8,657 trillion Port Myrelian Dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 271,708 Port Myrelian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

News headlines suggest that Leader has a sideline in guinea pig pimping, the government prefers to leave the past buried, Leader's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide, and anti-government web sites are springing up. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Port Myreal's national animal is the Kraken, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Port Myreal is ranked 78,522^nd in the world and 166^th in NationStates for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,987.2 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
