The Principality of Circular Direction is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 7.258 billion Circular Directionians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 25.5%.

The Circular Directionian economy, worth 276 trillion Sovereigns a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 38,096 Sovereigns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Circular Direction's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
