The Imperial State of Iberia of NorthPortugal is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by King Jorge I with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 5.905 billion Iberians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lisboa and Madrid. The average income tax rate is 78.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Iberian economy, worth 812 trillion Iberian Reais a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 137,568 Iberian Reais, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Political speeches that drill deep into bureaucratic fine detail could be said to be a little boring, funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, and people in NorthPortugal can die peacefully knowing that all their debts are paid. Crime is totally unknown. NorthPortugal's national animal is the Lince Ibérico, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

NorthPortugal is ranked 105,263^rd in the world and 330^th in Europe for Largest Black Market, with 423 billion Standard Monetary Units.
