The Republic of The Portuguese Workers is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Glorioso Camarada Bruno with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, state-planned economy, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, cheerful population of 29.439 billion Portuguese Workersians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Porto. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Portuguese Workersian economy, worth a remarkable 6,899 trillion escudoes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 234,362 escudoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, and recognizing the Portuguese Workersian flag qualifies you for citizenship. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Portuguese Workers's national animal is the laughing cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Portuguese Workers is ranked 293,403rd in the world and 157th in Portugal for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
