The United States of Princess XIII is a colossal, pleasant nation, remarkable for its public floggings, ritual sacrifices, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 4.018 billion Princess XIIIians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 29.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Princess XIIIian economy, worth 138 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,462 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, business is adjusting to new gender equality policies in the workplace, the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli, and 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Princess XIII's national animal is the Kitsune.

Princess XIII is ranked 121,101^st in the world and 2^nd in Scatter Territories for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 658.33 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
