The Portugalacian Kingdom of Nova Espana is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Rei João Ferreira with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.646 billion Portugalacians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lisboa. The average income tax rate is 65.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Nova Espanan economy, worth 743 trillion Escudoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,299 Escudoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mall countdown clocks warn that there are only 364 more shopping days until Maxxmas, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, and weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova Espana's national animal is the Iberian Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nova Espana is ranked 108,145^th in the world and 570^th in Europe for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 2,847.44 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
