The Circle of Tungstan is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Delilah with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, free-roaming dinosaurs, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate population of 3.3 billion Tungstanis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Tungstani economy, worth 508 trillion World Dollars 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 154,030 World Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The election for Delilah's office's janitor is heating up, children usually cry on their first day of school, citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint, and thieves find battery shops juicier targets than banks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tungstan's national animal is the bed, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tungstan is ranked 19,185th in the world and 426th in the Rejected Realms for Most Secular, with 60.71 Atheism Rate.
