The Republic of Castrella is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 2.39 billion Castrellans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 55.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Castrellan economy, worth 60.7 trillion this is an alt lmaos a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,400 this is an alt lmaos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The 'no-coal' transition is being paid for in slashed student support funds, burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms, Leader has just been declared ruler of Castrella in an international press conference, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Castrella's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Castrella is ranked 40,512^th in the world and 144^th in Forest for Safest, scoring 105.6 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
