The United Socialist States of Crisantemo13 is a mammoth, genial nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.069 billion Crisantemians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CD102. The average income tax rate is 93.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Crisantemo13ian economy, worth 954 trillion aspirines a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 135,019 aspirines, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People with dyslexia are told to tough through it, third world countries are rich in "I Love CD102" t-shirts, former nobles are being issued new identities in the wake of the end of serfdom, and more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crisantemo13's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Crisantemo13 is ranked 36,033^rd in the world and 52^nd in The Communist Bloc for Highest Drug Use, scoring 322.12 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
