The República of Portuguesa du Estado Novo is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by PM Antonio de Oliveira Salazar with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 14.635 billion Portuguese are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lisboa. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Portuguese economy, worth a remarkable 2,069 trillion Escudoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 141,381 Escudoes, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.

There's more than one way to skin a diplomat, they say the best compromise leaves everyone feeling a little unarmed, millions of Portuguese are excellent swimmers, and both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Portuguesa du Estado Novo's national animal is the Colourful Rooster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholic Church.

Portuguesa du Estado Novo is ranked 84,682^nd in the world and 4^th in Christian Nations Union for Most Beautiful Environments, with 588.03 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
