The Demo of Portal First Slice is a colossal, pleasant nation, ruled by Valve with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.074 billion Portal First Sliceans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 410. The average income tax rate is 18.1%.

The strong Portal First Slicean economy, worth 206 trillion 8 May 2008s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 67,133 8 May 2008s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

The government regrets to say that it is forced to make cuts to citizens, homebuyers must agree to name their firstborn after the previous owner, the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", and compass sales have gone south. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Portal First Slice's national animal is the Valve, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Demo.

Portal First Slice is ranked 198,066th in the world and 67th in Steam for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 40.31 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
