The Lusophone Commonwealth of NorthPortugal is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Queen Maria IV with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 12.303 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 2,197 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 22,083^rd in the world and 274^th in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 88.18 law-abiding acts per hour.
