The Republic of Portsville is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 10.537 billion Portsvilleans 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Portsvillean economy, worth a remarkable 2,692 trillion deniers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 255,494 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.
The Portsvillean football team for the Maxxmas ceasefire consists only of Intelligence Corps personnel, the new "Bloodbath" orange tree autonomously seeks and destroys independent orchards, the ongoing space elevator construction project has elevated the national debt to all new levels, and students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Portsville's national animal is the falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Portsville is ranked 4,960th in the world and 254th in Lazarus for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,356.46 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
