The Principality of Castanos is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.884 billion 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.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carano. The average income tax rate is 68%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.
