The Republic of Portsville 20 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.328 billion Portsville 20ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 84.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Portsville 20ian economy, worth 361 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 108,740 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Teachers regularly paddle unruly students, every politician claims to be at least 1% Native Portsville 20ian, sex changes are routinely performed at Portsville 20's hospitals, and every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Portsville 20's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Portsville 20 is ranked 231,597^th in the world and 6,181^st in the Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 50.48 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
