The Grand Duchy of Castilia-Lyone is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 970 million Castilia-Lyoneans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Spirituality, and Environment also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 40.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Castilia-Lyonean economy, worth 64.8 trillion Castilia-Lyonean Kröners a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 66,796 Castilia-Lyonean Kröners, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub, commuters and their desktops both bemoan their hard drives, and torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Castilia-Lyone's national animal is the Imperial Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Castilia-Lyone is ranked 267,853^rd in the world and 1,126^th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -7.38 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
