The Republic of Circle of Steel is a large, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 76 million Circle of Steelians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Spirituality, with Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 45.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Circle of Steelian economy, worth 1.42 trillion Caps a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 18,701 Caps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Circle of Steel's national animal is the Eagle.
Circle of Steel is ranked 107,972nd in the world and 3,101st in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 79.15 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
