The Republic of Castle Infinity is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, cynical population of 738 million Castle Infinityians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 50.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Castle Infinityian economy, worth 40.0 trillion ROSES a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 54,200 ROSES, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press, back-alley circumcision clinics are popping up all over the nation, the relatives of suicide victims tend to be angry rather than sad, and traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Castle Infinity's national animal is the ROSE, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Castle Infinity is ranked 121,472^nd in the world and 1^st in Castle Infinity for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,059.23 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
