Circle diagram.

A 15-odd-limit dekany. This creates a scale of 1 35/32 7/6 5/4 11/8 77/48 55/32 7/4 11/6 15/8 2/1, with steps of 35/32 16/15 15/14 11/10 7/6 15/14 56/55 22/21 45/44 16/15. This does have three perfect fifths, but they are all clustered on one side of the scale, the step sizes are very uneven in general and there are multiple ones that are challenging to use melodically, making it above average in xenharmonicness, but not completely impossible to use in a tonal way.
