The Federation of Castille de Italia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President John Faring with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, sprawling nuclear power plants, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 17.677 billion Castillians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, 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 Preslaff. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Castillian economy, worth a remarkable 2,793 trillion Dataries a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 158,045 Dataries, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Genetic researchers have taken to conducting illegal experiments in secret lairs, school lockers are filled with fancy underwear, citizens are arrested for naturally producing proteins, and they say that Castillians made a dessert and called it peace. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Castille de Italia's national animal is the Castillian Snow Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Castille de Italia is ranked 53,258^th in the world and 25^th in Greater Dienstad for Most Beautiful Environments, with 649.77 Pounds Of Wildlife Per Square Mile.
