The Federal Republic of Castraebar is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Mikkołaj Järvinen with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, strictly enforced bedtime, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 4.93 billion Castraebarians 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 prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while Environment isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Armagran. The average income tax rate is 87.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Castraebarian economy, worth 756 trillion Castraebarian Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 153,475 Castraebarian Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The new cheese tax is colloquially known as "wheel welfare", former state leaders include a TV comic and a cowboy actor, a state-funded project is investigating whether the moon is made of cheese, and the Fashion Channel can only be viewed on widescreen TVs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Castraebar's national animal is the Mambari Soft Shell turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Scientific Agnosticism.

Castraebar is ranked 83,586th in the world and 872nd in the South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 568.23045577672 days.
