The Theocracy of Druidic Circle of Spores is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 74 million Druids 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Druidic Circle of Sporesian economy, worth 797 billion Aurics a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 10,776 Aurics, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here", and war is made in the name of love. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Druidic Circle of Spores's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Druidic Circle of Spores is ranked 260,189th in the world and 269th in Astoria for Largest Populations, with 74.0 million capita.
