The Most Serene Republic of Stone Circles is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 5.028 billion Stone Circlesians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 57.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Stone Circlesian economy, worth 79.6 trillion Pennies 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 black market in Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. 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 15,839 Pennies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, surveillance cameras are banned, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stone Circles's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Stone Circles is ranked 160,961^st in the world and 1^st in Real Conservative Region for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 484.07 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
