The Portugalacian Kingdom of Nova Espana is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Rei João Ferreira with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.385 billion Portugalacians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lisboa. The average income tax rate is 57.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Nova Espanan economy, worth 643 trillion Escudoes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,816 Escudoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova Espana's national animal is the Iberian Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nova Espana is ranked 169,426^th in the world and 850^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 150.55 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
