The Republic of RICO of Port is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 568 million RICO of Portians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rico City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.9%.

The thriving RICO of Portian economy, worth 46.8 trillion Rico Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 82,397 Rico Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

Business is adjusting to new gender equality policies in the workplace, children in school playgrounds can be heard chanting the hymns of the Order of Violet, ironic death by tasering is on the rise amongst door-to-door taser salesmen, and residents are readily ratting out rats in restaurants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. RICO of Port's national animal is the Mongoose, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
