The Empire of Portugal Empire State is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Ford York with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, ban on automobiles, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, devout population of 8.371 billion Portuguese are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Viseu. The average income tax rate is 80.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Portuguese economy, worth a remarkable 1,400 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 167,361 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Former Jar Jar Binkism holy sites are reconsecrated as teppanyaki restaurants, party-lovers often change religions just for the weekend, daredevil kayakers frequently race against runaway hippos, and young people crowd pizza parlors praying to 'The Supreme Pizza, His Immaculate Munchiness'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Portugal Empire State's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Jar Jar Binkism.

Portugal Empire State is ranked 300,067^th in the world and 777^th in Europe for Fattest Citizens, with 4.57 Obesity Rate.
