The Federation of Castilla Moderna is a small, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, sprawling nuclear power plants, and compulsory military service. The compassionate population of 36 million Castilla Modernans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 27.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Castilla Modernan economy, worth 2.12 trillion Soberans a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,865 Soberans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Nine-year-olds are discovering that they can grow gardens in real life too, the nation's only university is the School of Hard Knocks, citizens are grown in vats, and breast milk is being redistributed from each according to their ability to each according to their need. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Castilla Moderna's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Castilla Moderna is ranked 113,513^th in the world and 551^st in Europeia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 718.42 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
