The Ensaio sobre a Cegueira of Portugal Digital is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Só Carneiro with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, pith helmet sales, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 22.773 billion Portugueses 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pavilhão Atlântico. The average income tax rate is 31.9%.

The powerhouse Português economy, worth a remarkable 2,004 trillion escudoes a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Gambling, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 88,024 escudoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Women who leak pus from infected wounds are told to suck it up, vegetarianism is compulsory, confused drunks wake up to irate drill sergeants whipping them into shape, and psychiatrists that date patients are congratulated on their romantic conquests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Portugal Digital's national animal is the águia vitória, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Portugal Digital is ranked 287,146^th in the world and 110^th in Portugal for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.05 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
