The State of Central Circus is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 30.751 billion Central Circusians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Law & Order, although Industry, Education, and Defense are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The powerhouse Central Circusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,553 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 50,522 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 204,843 per year while the poor average 8,294, a ratio of 24.7 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime is a problem. Central Circus's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Central Circus is ranked 222,047^th in the world and 6^th in Brunei Darussalam for Safest, scoring 28.49 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
