The Purple Pulsating Swirls of D013 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Carly Simon with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, vat-grown people, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.361 billion Vanities are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gavotte. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Vain economy, worth a remarkable 1,301 trillion Banks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 114,545 Banks, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Children play a simplified version of hopscotch, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, they who do not work shall not eat, and politicians sweat as journalists scour internet archives for any mention of them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. D013's national animal is the Cheetah, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Narcissism.

D013 is ranked 13,289th in the world and 14th in Windows for Most Stationary, with 1,909.22879892612 days.
