The April Fool's Fan of Imperio de Castilho is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by General Anhanguera with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, devout population of 3.464 billion Castilhians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Guaricana. The average income tax rate is 88.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Castilhian economy, worth 543 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 156,972 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sharks are enjoying their deliveries of canned food, Guaricana's iconic yellow taxis are nowhere to be seen, extreme hiring regulations mean a job in Imperio de Castilho is often a lifetime appointment, and there have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imperio de Castilho's national animal is the fragata, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Imperio de Castilho is ranked 112,642^nd in the world and 2,505^th in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,206.26 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
