The Protectorate of Castle In Confidence is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Servant James Ruche with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.048 billion Castle In Confidenceans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Confidentia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.5%.

The Castle In Confidencean economy, worth 202 trillion Lunaires a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,967 Lunaires, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

Every week is blindness awareness week, nose plugs are the latest Castle In Confidencean fashion accessory, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Castle In Confidence to be bombproof, and old warplanes and tanks that break down can't be repaired since no one makes the parts anymore. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Castle In Confidence's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Castle In Confidence is ranked 158,456^th in the world and 3,996^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.29 law-abiding acts per hour.
