The Dictatorship of Port Sheldon is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Porfirio Muņoz with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, otherworldly petting zoo, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.81 billion Port Sheldonians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ci u t'ann. The average income tax rate is 28.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Port Sheldonian economy, worth 157 trillion Cacao Beans a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 87,275 Cacao Beans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Farting etiquette is taught in schools, arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated, illegal book-trafficking rings dominate the black market, and enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Port Sheldon's national animal is the Chinchilla, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Port Sheldon is ranked 66,588th in the world and 22nd in MHBs New Earth for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,011.76 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
