The Sereníssimo of Reino de Portvgal is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Dom Mário V with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful population of 6.018 billion Portuguese enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Granada. The average income tax rate is 9.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Portuguese economy, worth a remarkable 1,591 trillion Reais a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 264,394 Reais, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, the comic book series 'Dom Mário V and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park, and high-tech infantry rifles automatically reload when the soldier shoots outside the screen of their helmet HUD. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Reino de Portvgal's national animal is the Black Pig, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Reino de Portvgal is ranked 5,212^th in the world and 10^th in Portugal for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 554.71 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
