The Republic of Portsville

“Might Makes Right”

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

The Republic of Portsville is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, infamous sell-swords, and vat-grown people. The compassionate, cynical population of 11.79 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 97.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Portsvillean economy, worth a remarkable 3,053 trillion deniers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 259,000 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

It's illegal to be caught on tape, Portsvillean diplomacy is by the book, highway rest stops are stocking up on fallout scrubbing kits, and the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air. 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 7,416^th in the world and 570^th in Lazarus for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 12,264.77 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
