The Allied States of Cirrce is a mid-sized, efficient nation, renowned for its burgeoning Aster population. The hard-working population of 73 million Cirrceans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.5%.

The very strong Cirrcean economy, worth 4.09 trillion Asters a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 56,066 Asters, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 171,271 per year while the poor average 14,225, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Cirrce's national animal is the Aster, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Cirrce is ranked 70,174^th in the world and 18^th in Asteroid Belt for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 49,058.09 Standard Monetary Units.
