The Empire of The Castelian Federation is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Imperator Quintus Augustus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, national health service, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.874 billion Castelians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kastel. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Castelian economy, worth a remarkable 3,929 trillion Castelian Reichsmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 305,250 Castelian Reichsmarks, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, wandering Castelians are known for their one-track minds, most people attending churches are maintenance workers, and billions of Castelian Reichsmarks are being blown on orbital weapons development. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Castelian Federation's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of Saint Michael.

The Castelian Federation is ranked 60,459^th in the world and 27^th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 4,096.63 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
