  We explore an instance of the question of partitioning a polygon into pieces,
each of which is as ``circular'' as possible, in the sense of having an aspect
ratio close to 1. The aspect ratio of a polygon is the ratio of the diameters
of the smallest circumscribing circle to the largest inscribed disk. The
problem is rich even for partitioning regular polygons into convex pieces, the
focus of this paper. We show that the optimal (most circular) partition for an
equilateral triangle has an infinite number of pieces, with the lower bound
approachable to any accuracy desired by a particular finite partition. For
pentagons and all regular k-gons, k > 5, the unpartitioned polygon is already
optimal. The square presents an interesting intermediate case. Here the
one-piece partition is not optimal, but nor is the trivial lower bound
approachable. We narrow the optimal ratio to an aspect-ratio gap of 0.01082
with several somewhat intricate partitions.
