The Quinto Império of Novo Portugal is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Condestável with an iron fist, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 18.759 billion Portuguese 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, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Lisboa. The average income tax rate is 74.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Portuguese economy, worth a remarkable 3,493 trillion Novo Escudoes a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 186,205 Novo Escudoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Motivational posters send motorists positive vibes in high-risk areas, male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, and school lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Novo Portugal's national animal is the Iberian Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Novo Portugal is ranked 23,449^th in the world and 27^th in Portugal for Safest, scoring 112.28 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
