The Free Market Utopia of 13 Exploding Countries is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by escaped inmate Elizabeth Holmes with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.759 billion 13 exploding countrymen are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of NukaWorld. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.4%.

The very strong 13 Exploding Countriesian economy, worth 152 trillion half empty ketchup bottles a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 86,611 half empty ketchup bottles, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 636,738 per year while the poor average 3,590, a ratio of 177 to 1.

Murder rates are on the rise as the popularity of soylent products grows, land owners find the earth being pulled out from under them, competing film industry executives commission movies depicting each other as ugly baby-eating villains, and Escaped inmate Elizabeth Holmes is the self-declared God of all 13 Exploding Countries. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. 13 Exploding Countries's national animal is the unironically slightly sad cowboy, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Theranos.

13 Exploding Countries is ranked 296,116^th in the world and 25^th in Shadowport for Most Developed, scoring 46.09 on the Human Development Index.
