The Confederacy of Dae Golden Circle is a small, socially progressive nation, renowned for its frequent executions, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 20 million Dae Golden Circleans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Spirituality, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.5%.

The thriving Dae Golden Circlean economy, worth 1.49 trillion Greybacks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 74,564 Greybacks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 323,500 per year while the poor average 10,906, a ratio of 29.7 to 1.

A suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals, all tariffs have been abolished, and military recruitment numbers are down as citizens object on 'moral grounds'. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Dae Golden Circle's national animal is the The thick-billed longspur, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Dae Golden Circle is ranked 125,751^st in the world and 2,925^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,420.51 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
