The Republic of A Perfect Circle is a huge, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning pet population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 506 million Outsiders 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 21.6%.

The weak and powerless economy, worth 22.0 trillion libras a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Average income is 43,515 libras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and imprisonment is the leading cause of disownment. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A Perfect Circle's national animal is the pet, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

A Perfect Circle is ranked 155,696^th in the world and 1^st in 100 for Most Corrupt Governments, with 3.5 kickbacks per hour.
