Puertego is primarily made up of 5 ethnic groups ethnic Puertegans, Pelaxians, Cartadanians, Latins, and native Puertegans. Ethnic Puertegans are a mixture of Puertegan natives and Latins with them forming the largest percentage of the populations while ethnic Pelaxians and Cartadanians form the second and third largest ethnic groups respectively and primarily arrived at Puertego during the country's years when it was colonized largely as wealthy landowners at the time, native Puertegans form the smallest ethnic group in Puertego and despite the Puertegan constitution officially stating that the government will not discriminate based on the grounds of race Puertegan natives are some of the most likely to have their land confiscated by the government without any compensation with up to 1.6 million having been displaced in this way. | |||

The infrastructure of Puertego has long been recognized by international observers as being of poor quality with the two main reasons attributed to this being widespread corruption in the government and the prevalence of shanty towns in Puertego's major cities making planning for the locations of infrastructure difficult though there have also been other reasons given that are less widespread than the previous reasons such as the presence of land mines in the country from the nations long history of civil wars with it being estimated that as much as 8% of land in Puertegan territory is unusable due to the presence of landmines on it. However, the government has been making large efforts to try and improve the nation's infrastructure though with them trying to counteract the lack of services in the nations many slums by working with the population there to set up infrastructure in their communities primarily in terms of electricity, sanitation, and water access, the government of Puertego has made much progress with the latter two in recent years with the government with the government connecting around 6.6 million citizens to the nations sewer system and raising the number of citizens with access to clean drinking water by 38%. | The infrastructure of Puertego has long been recognized by international observers as being of poor quality with the two main reasons attributed to this being widespread corruption in the government and the prevalence of shanty towns in Puertego's major cities making planning for the locations of infrastructure difficult though there have also been other reasons given that are less widespread than the previous reasons such as the presence of land mines in the country from the nations long history of civil wars with it being estimated that as much as 8% of land in Puertegan territory is unusable due to the presence of landmines on it.

===Transportation=== | ===Transportation=== | ||
In Puertego the government maintains a national highway system running to major cities and a few of the larger towns though most of rural Puertego has to rely on dirt roads since only 20% of roads in Puertego are paved, maintenance of the road system has always been rather patchy due to embezzlement by officials meaning that the road system is often peppered with potholes. The government provides free public transport in cities with its bus routes going through them, a large reason for this is the large cost of owning a car due to almost all of them having to be imported from other countries and there being a rather limited supply. The government spends around 2% of its annual budget on transportation and maintenance of roads.

===Energy=== | ===Energy=== | ||
Almost all of the energy in Puertego is provided by non-renewable sources with the nation being a large importer of oil, natural gas, and coal as well as a large extractor of these resources in its own borders, though it has been attempting to transition to more green methods of energy production with three nuclear power plants currently under construction in the country and expected to be fully operational in the next 3-4 years along with new hydro power being introduced for the first time in Puertego's history. Close to all the nation's electricity is provided by the state-owned utility company which provides electricity to the nation's citizens. The government has been trying to provide more of its citizens with electricity by building new infrastructure for it, but this has proven difficult for the government due to the large amount of shanty towns in Puertego's cities with it being estimated that as many as 54% of Puertegans live in a slum, currently only around 45% of Puertegan citizens have access to electricity in their home. | Almost all of the energy in Puertego is provided by non-renewable sources with the nation being a large importer of oil, natural gas, and coal as well as a large extractor of these resources in its own borders, though it has been attempting to transition to more green methods of energy production with three nuclear power plants currently under construction in the country and expected to be fully operational in the next 3-4 years along with new hydro power being introduced for the first time in Puertego's history.

===Healthcare=== | ===Healthcare=== | ||
The constitution of Puertego specifically states that the government must offer free healthcare to all its citizens though the quality is notoriously poor with overcrowding meaning that often times patients have to share beds, unsanitary conditions, and long wait times, there is also lots of corruption in the government run healthcare with embezzlement being commonplace in the nation's hospitals and many patients reporting doctors demanding bribes to write prescriptions for them. However there have been attempts by the government to increase the quality by cracking down on corruption in the industry with much heavier monitoring of staff and administrators, additionally the government has begun building clinics in rural communities with no access to regular hospitals and also provides cheap clean drinking water and free vaccinations to all citizens with the latter being attributed to a large reason for the country almost eradicating certain diseases like Polio. The government spends around 7% of its annual budget on its healthcare system. | The constitution of Puertego specifically states that the government must offer free healthcare to all its citizens though the quality is notoriously poor with overcrowding meaning that often times patients have to share beds, unsanitary conditions, and long wait times, there is also lots of corruption in the government run healthcare with embezzlement being commonplace in the nation's hospitals and many patients reporting doctors demanding bribes to write prescriptions for them.
