The Revolutionary Republic of Colloms Golden Circle is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Elijius Andrewus Karnath with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.515 billion Circleans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Magritic. The average income tax rate is 80.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Circlean economy, worth 690 trillion Circlean Novaurums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 196,386 Circlean Novaurums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The saying "when pigs fly" has been changed to "when the lights work", the transition from trojan horses to regular old horses is on track, Circlean Tigers have more rights than the average citizen, and Colloms Golden Circle's citizens often wander into each other's homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Colloms Golden Circle's national animal is the Circlean Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Revolutionary Atheism.

Colloms Golden Circle is ranked 26,512^th in the world and 105^th in Carcassonne for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,821.68 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
