The State of Porchutes is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 26.977 billion Porchutesians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 6.5%.

The powerhouse Porchutesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,028 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 38,137 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

High-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, voting is voluntary, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, and Porchutes has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Porchutes's national animal is the deer.

Porchutes is ranked 85,327^th in the world and 1^st in Martinique for Most Primitive, scoring 22.14 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
