The Nexus of Circui is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Gestalt with an iron fist, and renowned for its national health service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.194 billion Circuians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nexus. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Circuian economy, worth 128 trillion chits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,253 chits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has granted that two plus two makes four, footballers are doing aerobics in the sauna to build their hot weather endurance, town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists, and Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Circui's national animal is the eurasian owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Gestaltism.

Circui is ranked 216,282^nd in the world and 752^nd in Talonia for Least Corrupt Governments, with 91.81 percentage of bribes refused.
