The Republic of Self Portrait is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its burgeoning Dog population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 6.614 billion Self Portraitians 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 Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 15.8%.

The Self Portraitian economy, worth 303 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 45,860 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Self Portrait's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Self Portrait is ranked 100,894^th in the world and 2^nd in Sports for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,294.53 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
