The Vucon Republic of Port Protection is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Kenneth Vucon with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.468 billion Port Protectionians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lighthouse Point. The average income tax rate is 20.8%.

The thriving Port Protectionian economy, worth 202 trillion Vucons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 82,090 Vucons, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, there's more vermin than ever on the metro, the police double as repo men, and Kenneth Vucon is off to feed the wonderful wizard to hogs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Port Protection's national animal is the Walrus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Port Protection is ranked 38,295^th in the world and 5^th in Arconian Empire for Most Cultured, scoring 75 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
