The Principality of The Circle City is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.332 billion Uptown Hoosiers enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Circle Cityian economy, worth 120 trillion currencies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,753 currencies, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 286,386 per year while the poor average 21,973, a ratio of 13.0 to 1.

The jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, Leader has killer fashion sense, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, and visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. The Circle City's national animal is the PacerColt, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Circle City is ranked 130,363^rd in the world and 94^th in Capitalist Paradise for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,358.58 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
