The Republic of Amethyst 13 is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, ritual sacrifices, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 503 million Amethyst 13ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 33.9%.

The all-consuming Amethyst 13ian economy, worth 45.3 trillion Amethysts a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 90,076 Amethysts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown, the government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced, the Violetist community celebrates bombshells being dropped on Amethyst 13, and passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amethyst 13's national animal is the Amethyst, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Amethyst 13 is ranked 52,749th in the world and 30th in LunarPunk for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 10,276.46 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
