The Emirate of RTM13 is a massive, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, zero percent divorce rate, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.557 billion RTM13ians 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 medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 37.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped RTM13ian economy, worth 50.0 trillion pesos 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 32,129 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Saying "don't do anything that Leader wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal, Bigtopian interference in domestic elections is always democratically sanctioned, five-hundred-twenty-five-thousand-six-hundred revivals is how theatre-goers measure a year, and Leader has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. RTM13's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

RTM13 is ranked 237,010th in the world and 110th in Hell for Nudest, with 83.25 cheeks per square mile.
