The People's Republic of Hexen 13 is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 4.518 billion Hexen 13ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 38.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Hexen 13ian economy, worth 41.9 trillion rupees 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Furniture Restoration, Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 9,284 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hexen 13's national animal is the porpoise, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Hexen 13 is ranked 186,393^rd in the world and 6,090^th in Osiris for Most Primitive, scoring -74.16 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
