The Lusophone Commonwealth of NorthPortugal is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Maria IV with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 12.31 billion Lusophones hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vila de Campelos. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Lusophone economy, worth a remarkable 2,198 trillion Escudoes a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 178,614 Escudoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Queen Maria IV's former secretary was last sighted on her new yacht, pictures of government employees with expensive Pearbooks 'working' on exotic beaches dominate local tabloids, children's TV shows are having a gay old time, and clowns are being rounded up and admitted to mental institutions. 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 2,233^rd in the world and 44^th in Europe for Nicest Citizens, with 69.32 average smiles per day.
