The Republic of Chip 13 is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 428 million Chip 13ians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid and Environment aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.9%.

The very strong Chip 13ian economy, worth 29.2 trillion baht a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Gambling, and Book Publishing. Average income is 68,247 baht, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 524,282 per year while the poor average 2,386, a ratio of 219 to 1.

The internet has been placed under government control, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Chip 13 to be bombproof, citizens need to demonstrate a complete set of dental records to throw five bucks in a hobo's hat, and hordes of faceless civil servants are running cities. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Chip 13's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Chip 13 is ranked 277,030^th in the world and 15,620^th in Lazarus for Largest Populations, with 428 million capita.
