The Shining Star of Observation Post 13 is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lead Planner with an even hand, and notable for its enslaved workforce, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 6.888 billion Observers have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Megacity One. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient On Deck economy, worth a remarkable 1,409 trillion Lībres a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 204,673 Lībres, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's democracy attracts huddled masses yearning to breathe free, rude retail employees are now even ruder homeless panhandlers, the army's use of chemical weapons leaves a bad taste in the mouth, and Lead Planner has more friends than ever before. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Observation Post 13's national animal is the Carbon Monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Moralist Regime.

Observation Post 13 is ranked 317,893rd in the world and 102nd in Palatine for Nicest Citizens, with 0.63 average smiles per day.
