The Republic of Messier 13 is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning tiger population. The quiet, industrious population of 3.126 billion Messier 13ians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 26.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but underdeveloped Messier 13ian economy, worth 81.4 trillion kronor a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,041 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Messier 13's national animal is the tiger.
