The City-State of Senhora dos Mares is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Matilde da Encarnação Oliveira with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 4.725 billion Nova-lisboetas love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Lisboa. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Nova-lisboeta economy, worth 992 trillion Libras a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 209,906 Libras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voters are one of the nation's top imports, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Senhora dos Mares to be bombproof, scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied Raven, and the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Senhora dos Mares's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Senhora dos Mares is ranked 1,645th in the world and 5th in Fifth Empire for Most Developed, scoring 98.18 on the Human Development Index.
