The Republic of Thirteenth is a colossal, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning cow population. The hard-working population of 4.427 billion Thirteenthians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 19.3%.

The Thirteenthian economy, worth 191 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 43,181 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thirteenth's national animal is the cow.

Thirteenth is ranked 185,895^th in the world and 1^st in Sixty for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 312.27 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
