The People's Commune of Kastery is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by General Secretary Eketos Argyros with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and frequent executions. The quiet, industrious population of 7.348 billion Kasteryians 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 Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Armaros Kastora. The average income tax rate is 51.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Kasteryian economy, worth 213 trillion Vynnhian Francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 29,120 Vynnhian Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Unemployed accountants keep double-entry ledgers of their benefit claims, the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, defense lawyers suggestively note to juries how flagrantly happy victims were, and you're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kastery's national animal is the e-girl, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Kastenoran Orthodoxy.

Kastery is ranked 207,469^th in the world and 41^st in Noneuropean Union for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.09 kickbacks per hour.
