The Commonwealth of CircumferenceGov is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.748 billion CircumferenceGovians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Law & Order, and Defense are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 65.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant CircumferenceGovian economy, worth 25.8 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 14,769 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CircumferenceGov's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

CircumferenceGov is ranked 159,438^th in the world and 10^th in Circumference for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 361.51 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
