The Republic of Kastovie is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by President Nikolai Kouroumov with an even hand, and notable for its closed borders, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 14.1 billion Kastovieans 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 Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Verdhansk. The average income tax rate is 27.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Kastoviean economy, worth a remarkable 1,163 trillion Kasts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is 82,548 Kasts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Protestors are soaking piles of Kasts in blood to make a point about government incomes, the government-sponsored autobiography 'A President Nikolai Kouroumov For All Seasons' has only been bought by the most loyal of President Nikolai Kouroumov's supporters, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, and jumping in puddles after rainstorms has become an indoor activity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kastovie's national animal is the Wolf and its national religion is Christian Orthodox.

Kastovie is ranked 84,637^th in the world and 7^th in Astares Covenant for Most Developed, scoring 65.66 on the Human Development Index.
