The Federal Republic of Castraebar is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Mikkołaj Järvinen with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, strictly enforced bedtime, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 4.875 billion Castraebarians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while Environment isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Armagran. The average income tax rate is 86.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Castraebarian economy, worth 740 trillion Castraebarian Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 151,872 Castraebarian Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
Ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, party-lovers often change religions just for the weekend, rude retail employees are now even ruder homeless panhandlers, and there's no weight to modern politics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Castraebar's national animal is the Mambari Soft Shell turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Scientific Agnosticism.
Castraebar is ranked 14,037th in the world and 355th in the South Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 104 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
