The Republic of Crystal Castles is a huge, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning porpoise population. The hard-working population of 742 million Crystal Castlesians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 20.2%.

The Crystal Castlesian economy, worth 31.4 trillion lire a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Trout Farming, and Retail. Average income is 42,265 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crystal Castles's national animal is the porpoise, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Crystal Castles is ranked 260,273^rd in the world and 10^th in Freelands for Largest Populations, with 742 million capita.
