San Castellino, officially the Republic of San Castellino (Iverican: República de San Castellino) is a large country located in western Mesothalassa in Alharu on Eurth. The country is situated between the Manamana Bay, the Bahia del Trébol and the Baie Ferdinande. San Castellino is divided in two by the plateau of the High-Chanchel, between the Mariachi desert and the equatorial forest. San Castellino has immediate borders with Mauridiviah and the Commune of Nouvelle-Lyrie. The country covers an area of XXX km2 including the few islets that belong to it, and the enclave of Ferdinades City which is populated by approximately 19,530 hundreds of inhabitants. The capital city Gazallenoa is the most populated city with a more than 10 millions inhabitants.
The country is officially a presidential republic, but de facto is an authoritarian republic led with an iron fist by general Sullivan Di Foxycionni and his National-Capitalist Pact. San Castellino is usually quiet in the foreign affairs due to a nationalist and isolationist policy.
Etymology
Originally called San Constantino by Stillian explorers - in honor of Saint Constantine - the name "San Castellino" appears for the first time in the 17th century in the memoirs of Juan Cristobal, a Stillian writer who immigrated to Gazallenoa. Apparently, the name is the result of a distortion of the original name by the local indigenous population. But it is really from the beginning of the XVIII century that the name San Castellino is popularized.
Although San Castellino is the official name of the country, there are several nicknames, the most famous of which is the affectionate name "Castie" which even gave birth to the patriotic song "Me gustaría estar en Castie" ("I wish I was in Castie").

Politics
President Sullivan Di Foxycionni is the Supreme Leader of the Republic while also serving as leader of the National-Capitalist Pact.
Economy
The national currency is the San Castellino's Peseta (SCP).
The economy of San Castellino, unlike most dictatorships, is very weakly controlled by the state. Indeed, the country's economic doctrine is conducted in accordance with the official ideology of the country, national-capitalism, which advocates ultra-liberalisation of the large majority of markets and almost total privatisation of services. As some famous examples, we can take the privatization of water, which is written into the constitution of San Castellino, or the fact that healthcare is managed by the Ministry of Economy.
The main sectors in San Castellino are oil, tobacco and agriculture. The oil sector in San Castellino is mainly controlled by foreign companies, notably by Galahinda through the company GalOil and Salvia. The San Castellinos tobacco and cigar industry is culturally and economically in the centre of the country. Indeed, San Castellinos luxury cigars are internationally renowned. That is why the management of this sector is totally controlled by the Alharu Tobacco Company, even though it is a private company. Finally, agriculture - especially the cultivation of bananas, coffee and cotton - also has an important share of the San Castellinos GDP. Moreover, recently, the cultivation of avocados, although very water-intensive and requiring the clearing of many hectares of forest, is increasingly practiced in San Castellino.
