The Lunatic Brexiteers of Circus Grotesque is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its smutty television, national health service, and state-planned economy. The hard-working, democratic population of 7.136 billion Circus Grotesqking hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Environment, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Big Top. The average income tax rate is 17.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Circus Grotesqueen economy, worth 587 trillion Hildas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Gambling, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 82,317 Hildas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Withdrawal of support for drug addicts is leaving many with cold sweats, the nation leads Balder in per capita stalking, grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, and the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Circus Grotesque's national animal is the Pony fish dog bird, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is sleep.

Circus Grotesque is ranked 60,563rd in the world and 3,247th in Balder for Most Beautiful Environments, with 642.89 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
