The Nexus of Circui is a massive, genial nation, ruled by The Gestalt with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.958 billion Circuians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

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 70.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Circuian economy, worth 106 trillion chits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,378 chits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, every workday begins with group therapy, kids these days know how to throw a proper punch, and the standardised national curriculum requires that all-male classes be taught why they have periods. 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 100,419^th in the world and 249^th in Talonia for Most Developed, scoring 61.37 on the Human Development Index.
