The Most Serene Republic of Kastilya is a very large, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 155 million Kastilyans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 29.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but underdeveloped Kastilyan economy, worth 4.91 trillion pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,656 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Citizens must have a license to operate a computer, midnight raids drag couples from their homes in the name of decency, arbitration is mightier than the sword, and international trade can be a pain to deal with. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kastilya's national animal is the lion , which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Kastilya is ranked 125,067th in the world and 1,490th in the West Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 21.18 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
