The Gay Space Communist Union of Castrovca is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Comrade Katya with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 3.34 billion Castrovcans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cavana. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Castrovcan economy, worth 652 trillion Castrovcan Roubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 195,482 Castrovcan Roubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, and in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare. Crime is totally unknown. Castrovca's national animal is the Serval, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Castrovca is ranked 137,366^th in the world and 113^th in Conf of Traditional Socialist Nations for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -2.61 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
