The District of LaPortei is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its burgeoning bovina population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 8.919 billion LaPortians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.0%.

The thriving LaPorteian economy, worth 525 trillion aurums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 58,904 aurums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 196,053 per year while the poor average 13,187, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, all tariffs have been abolished, and LaPortei has designated District City as its capital city. Crime is moderate. LaPortei's national animal is the bovina, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

LaPortei is ranked 206,488^th in the world and 2^nd in Celadonia for Largest Governments, scoring 9.49 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
