The Republic of New Lusitania and the Algarves is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Jorge Brandão with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 16.13 billion New Lusitanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 89.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse New Lusitanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,180 trillion Escudoes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 73,168 Escudoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return, the government's foreign policy statements are less threatening than a World Assembly cease-and-desist letter, the government is spending more on exports to Brasilistan than it's receiving from tariffs on the imports, and there is a dearth of space for new houses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Lusitania and the Algarves's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
New Lusitania and the Algarves is ranked 82,651st in the world and 33rd in International Democratic Union for Most Stationary, with 580.94457958412 days.
