The Exalted Republic of Port Flynt is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Earl of Rueben with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 15.178 billion Flyntons enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Shelbyville. The average income tax rate is 84.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Port Flyntian economy, worth a remarkable 3,516 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 231,704 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material', 75% of the words in government-funded "Super Fun Maths Games" are probably inaccurate, debates on whether toilet seats should be left up or down are increasingly commonplace, and doctors spend more time writing sick notes than caring for the sick. Crime is totally unknown. Port Flynt's national animal is the Llama, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Flexible Deism.

Port Flynt is ranked 3,989^th in the world and 172^nd in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 223.36 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
