The Republic of De portuga is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working population of 18 million De portugans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 12.0%.

The strong De portugan economy, worth 1.02 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 56,537 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation rates have hit a new low, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, and door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. De portuga's national animal is the Cabra.

De portuga is ranked 145,056^th in the world and 5^th in Flathinnis for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 8,529.44 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
