The April Fool's Fan of Imperio de Castilho is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by General Anhanguera with an even hand, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, public floggings, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 3.38 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 86.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Castilhian economy, worth 530 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 157,047 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign leaders are advising that General Anhanguera's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, home renovation projects take decades to complete, there's no representation without taxation, and class clowns are frequently listed among the most dangerous criminals in the nation. 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 21,333^rd in the world and 730^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,790.45 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
