The Republic of Castlacha is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Youssef Bernalli with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 5.886 billion Castlachans 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 Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Albarecado. The average income tax rate is 74.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Castlachan economy, worth 986 trillion Morlies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 167,585 Morlies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

People who eat pizza with lactase supplements are arrested by the flavour police, giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why President Youssef Bernalli is a silly poophead, thieves insist the wind blew that purse into their hands, and taxmen are issued platinum-cap designer boots to kick bankrupted Castlachans when they're down. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Castlacha's national animal is the Castlachan Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Castlacha is ranked 124,489^th in the world and 683^rd in NationStates for Largest Populations, with 5.89 billion capita.
