The April Fool's Fan of Imperio de Castilho is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by General Anhanguera with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, devout population of 3.471 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 88.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Castilhian economy, worth 546 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 157,421 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Extreme hiring regulations mean a job in Imperio de Castilho is often a lifetime appointment, there have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons', citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Imperio de Castilho, and the Holy Office of the Inquisition is the highest court in the land. 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 17,740th in the world and 736th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 299.87 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
