The Systematic Union of Portuguese New Mexico is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Presidente do Concelho with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 2.767 billion Portuguese New Mexicans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Santa Fé do Castelo. The average income tax rate is 42.3%.

The all-consuming Portuguese New Mexican economy, worth 304 trillion Escudoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,930 Escudoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Vegetables are crisper thanks to CRISPR, rumor has it that Presidente do Concelho has won three lotteries in a row, families must live in a village for a century before they get any say in how it runs, and unemployed political consultants and advertisers spend every election night weeping for the good old days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Portuguese New Mexico's national animal is the Galo de Barcelos, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Amálianity.

Portuguese New Mexico is ranked 118,265^th in the world and 82^nd in Portugal for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,686.12 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
