The Commonwealth of Circatium is a mid-sized, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 56 million Circatiumians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 16.9%.

The Circatiumian economy, worth 2.74 trillion Circans a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Gambling. Average income is 48,880 Circans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Circatiumian military drills look more like joint-The East Pacific exercises than anything else, voting is voluntary, bouncers at the door of the sweet shop warn five-year-olds not to cause trouble, and CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options. Crime is well under control. Circatium's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Circatium is ranked 52,651^st in the world and 685^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,786.2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
