The Free Land of Port Myreal is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, rampant corporate plagiarism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 26.714 billion Port Myrelians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government is effectively ruled by the Department of Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Industry also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Town. The average income tax rate is 47.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Port Myrelian economy, worth a remarkable 7,359 trillion Port Myrelian Dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 275,493 Port Myrelian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A referendum must be held in order for any new law to be passed, merchant ships always travel line astern in Port Myrelian waters, government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", and the people have taken "Hail Leader" as an invitation to lob rocks. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Port Myreal's national animal is the Kraken, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Port Myreal is ranked 87,131st in the world and 231st in NationStates for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,419.14 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
