The Quinto Império of Novo Portugal is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Condestável with an iron fist, and notable for its national health service, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 18.569 billion Portuguese 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 government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Lisboa. The average income tax rate is 74.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Portuguese economy, worth a remarkable 3,400 trillion Novo Escudoes a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 183,126 Novo Escudoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
The restriction that you must be over 1.1 metres tall to ride a carnotaurus has recently been waived, tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, more money is spent on policing the welfare system for abuse than on the welfare system itself, and the only science is political science. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novo Portugal's national animal is the Iberian Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.
Novo Portugal is ranked 207,387th in the world and 123rd in Portugal for Most Stationary, with 39.25019710208 days.
