The Constitutional Monarchy of Cirkia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Barry Maxman with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.365 billion Cirkians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merdian. The average income tax rate is 93.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cirkian economy, worth 146 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 107,407 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ships no longer sail as no one wants to encounter Cirkian pirates, high school bands practice by moonlight, dogs are encouraged to confront the psychodynamic roots of their desire to be "good boys", and there's nothing more gay than bleeding for your nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cirkia's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Cirkia is ranked 208,191^st in the world and 94^th in Community for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
