The Province and Card Storage of Castilho Island is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by General Anhanguera with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.335 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 Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova São João. The average income tax rate is 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Castilhian economy, worth 468 trillion Castilhian dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 140,582 Castilhian dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wandering Castilhians are known for their one-track minds, Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, many mayors are barely in office before being kicked out for minor parking violations, and bris parties are all the rage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Castilho Island's national animal is the frigate, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Castilho Island is ranked 294,225^th in the world and 3^rd in Castilhian archipelago for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.75 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
