The Republic of Castilloe is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Harv Core with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.216 billion Castilloeans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anclona. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 65.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Castilloean economy, worth 452 trillion Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 140,818 Crowns, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Foragers descend on national cemeteries for 'all-you-can-dig-up' extravaganzas, aristocracy is given the bird and called out as a lark, you can't make an omelet without breaking a few legs, and worship days have replaced sick days. Crime 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 20,604^th in the world and 85^th in the Plains of Perdition for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,285.93 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
