Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Democratic Republic of Coach House Circly is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Bugmg with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 3.696 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Razon. The average income tax rate is 96%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, racial supremacists indulge their wildest fantasies in cinemas and theatres across the nation, Coco the Clown has been elected to the nation's parliament, and politicians are to be found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Coach House Circly's national animal is the Rooster, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Bell.

Coach House Circly is ranked 165th in Texas and 100,698th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
