“Esta é a ditosa Pátria minha amada”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Kingdom of NovaPortugalidade is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by José Eduardo with a fair hand, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, ritual sacrifices, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 6.58 billion NovaPortugalidadeans are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Portugália. The average income tax rate is 93.2%.

The frighteningly efficient NovaPortugalidadean economy, worth a remarkable 1,997 trillion Reais a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 303,594 Reais, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Passwords to nuclear codes must now contain upper and lower case characters, recent protests against birds flying too low have resulted in bloodshed, the nation has nearly as many history museums as NovaPortugalidadeans, and friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NovaPortugalidade's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

NovaPortugalidade is ranked 4,808^th in the world and 11^th in Portugal for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 15,018.51 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
