The Republic of Castangsmanaia is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Heather with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 13.198 billion Castangsmanaians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Superbia. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Castangsmanaian economy, worth a remarkable 2,747 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 208,154 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You need two tenors and a coloratura contralto to sing the national anthem properly, calls to prayer are the newest dog whistles, starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, and the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Castangsmanaia's national animal is the Hellhound, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Castangsmanaia is ranked 4,308^th in the world and 8^th in The Global Elite for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 598.11 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
