The Red Mercantile Communes of Alentejo and Algarve is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Grã-Cônsul Jerónimo de Sousa with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical population of 18.157 billion Compadrês are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Felicia Argos. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Compadrê economy, worth a remarkable 3,635 trillion çifrãoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 200,205 çifrãoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, anti-environmentalist dissidents must beware of government plants in their midst, internet traffic has dropped to near zero, and it's a long jump to get onto the housing ladder. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alentejo and Algarve's national animal is the Lince Ibérico, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Alentejo and Algarve is ranked 313,479^th in the world and 122^nd in Portugal for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -25.77 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
