The Bastion of False Hope of Boston Castle is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Amanda Soulsby with a fair hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.749 billion Castellians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Immingham. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Boston Castlean economy, worth a remarkable 1,484 trillion Sterlings a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 191,556 Sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Defense lawyers often argue there's no proof murder victims weren't vampires, hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings, former arsonists can be found on local fire brigades, and hockey players who drop their gloves discard them on abandoned baseball mitts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Boston Castle's national animal is the Skye Terrier, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Anglicanism.

Boston Castle is ranked 8,923rd in the world and 1st in The Castellian Terrarium for Lowest Crime Rates, with 102.91 law-abiding acts per hour.
