The Republic of Clone Commander 13 is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate population of 1.365 billion Clone Commander 13ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 34.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Clone Commander 13ian economy, worth 51.7 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,863 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Commercials are consistently recorded in soft white rooms, universities now offer degrees in cycling etiquette, pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects, and domestic cruise ships fly the Clone Commander 13ian flag out of fear of being blown up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clone Commander 13's national animal is the Droid, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
