The Barony of Shield World 13-7 is a titanic, efficient nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, daily referendums, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.27 billion Shield World 13-7ians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Shield World 13-7ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,135 trillion Martis Golds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 189,481 Martis Golds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 850,760 per year while the poor average 26,081, a ratio of 32.6 to 1.

The only women behind bars are barmaids, there's a literal nanny state for the legions of children taken by social services, citizens gather eagerly to witness exotic animals being blasted out of cannons, and pirates armed with sonar-guided semi-autonomous torpedos and laser weapons systems are often seen capturing fishing trawlers. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Shield World 13-7's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Shield World 13-7 is ranked 54,478^th in the world and 276^th in Genesius Union for Largest Populations, with 11.3 billion capita.
