The Federation of Castas is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Damien Fortis with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The devout population of 1.3 billion Castasians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flont Town. The average income tax rate is 50.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Castasian economy, worth 120 trillion Fleurs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 92,443 Fleurs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The endangered saltwater humpback Jellyfish is only seen in captivity programs, soldiers stream their classified military operations live for millions of fans, those found guilty of illicit affairs are jailed, and the "right of sanctuary" stops police pursuit into temples and churches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Castas's national animal is the Jellyfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Protestantism.

Castas is ranked 85,864^th in the world and 3,899^th in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 45,389.79 Standard Monetary Units.
