The Republic of Port Maia Republic is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, prohibition of alcohol, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 200 million Port Maia Republicians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 55.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The very strong Port Maia Republician economy, worth 12.0 trillion Monies 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 59,785 Monies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Lifeguards are more concerned with watching for sharks than struggling swimmers, armed security details escort librarians to their homes, sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park, and there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Port Maia Republic's national animal is the Card, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Port Maia Republic is ranked 60,532nd in the world and 438th in Island of Hope for Safest, scoring 99.71 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
