The Republic of Castilloe is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Harv Core with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, daily referendums, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.542 billion Castilloeans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anclona. The average income tax rate is 59.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Castilloean economy, worth 160 trillion Crowns a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 104,239 Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government prides itself on being smug and condescending to idiots, a paperwork error has naval privateers being directed to attack land-locked nations, pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, and urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Castilloe's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Castilloe is ranked 57,630^th in the world and 1,013^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 1,340.66 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
