The Republic of FF XIII is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its burgeoning elephant population. The hard-working population of 1.048 billion FF XIIIians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.1%.

The very strong FF XIIIian economy, worth 62.5 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 59,614 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 182,110 per year while the poor average 15,126, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. FF XIII's national animal is the elephant, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

FF XIII is ranked 129,128^th in the world and 1^st in Fascists for Highest Average Incomes, with 59,614.76 Standard Monetary Units.
