The Nexus of Circui is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by The Gestalt with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.01 billion Circuians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

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 72.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Circuian economy, worth 116 trillion chits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,778 chits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Beaches are empty as the shark population multiplies exponentially, jury selection begins with explaining what a jury is, the government has granted that two plus two makes four, and footballers are doing aerobics in the sauna to build their hot weather endurance. 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 207,608^th in the world and 137^th in Talonia for Largest Populations, with 2.01 billion capita.
