The GEN-active of GEN13 is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Caitlin Fairchild with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, devout population of 10.591 billion Gen-actives are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Team 7. The average income tax rate is 76.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong GEN-active economy, worth 792 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 74,844 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, sleeping on the job is recommended, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Team 7 Times is sold out, and foreign musicians that Caitlin Fairchild dislikes are turned away at the border. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GEN13's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christian.

GEN13 is ranked 206,171^st in the world and 1^st in GEN13 for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -4.27 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
