The Republic of Deep13 is a fledgling, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic population of 5 million Deep13ians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.2%.

The strong Deep13ian economy, worth 338 billion kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is 67,769 kronor, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 196,266 per year while the poor average 18,543, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Military spending recently hit a new high, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, organ donation is compulsory, and truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Deep13's national animal is the Lemur, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Deep13 is ranked 132,440^th in the world and 129^th in Aesica for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,957.03 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
