The Lusophone Commonwealth of NorthPortugal is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Queen Maria IV with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 13.678 billion Lusophones live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The large, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vila de Campelos. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Lusophone economy, worth a remarkable 2,446 trillion Escudoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 178,892 Escudoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Major corporations receive tax breaks for no apparent reason, NorthPortugal has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world, sex changes are routinely performed at NorthPortugal's hospitals, and libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars. Crime is totally unknown. NorthPortugal's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Unofficial.

NorthPortugal is ranked 289,030^th in the world and 1,547^th in Europe for Most Authoritarian, with 81.48 milliStalins.
