The April Fool's Fan of Imperio de Castilho is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by General Anhanguera with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, devout population of 3.452 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 88.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Castilhian economy, worth 541 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 156,846 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, and lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you'. 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 53,850^th in the world and 1,805^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.48 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
