The Free Land of Port Myreal is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 26.681 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, although Healthcare, Environment, and Industry are also considered important, while Law & Order and Spirituality aren't funded at all. 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 7,350 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 3,343rd in the world and 73rd in NationStates for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 145,735.88 Standard Monetary Units.
