The Republic of Onion 13 is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.912 billion Onion 13ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Onion 13ian economy, worth 721 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 146,903 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
A small country is wondering where their capitol building's gold dome went, annulments are on the rise as couples discover their ancestors were born in the same hospitals, twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes, and flipping a coin to make a decision leads to a referral to Gambling Addiction Services. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Onion 13's national animal is the parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Onion 13 is ranked 34,404th in the world and 302nd in Eye for Lowest Crime Rates, with 80.27 law-abiding acts per hour.
