The Allied Imperium of 13 Court Gaurd Squads is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Tiberius Augustus V with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 24.44 billion Imperials have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zevnenwick. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Imperial economy, worth a remarkable 7,684 trillion Imperial Drachmas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 314,425 Imperial Drachmas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Artists are pillars of society, at least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Emperor Tiberius Augustus V's wardrobe, ticket touts are blamed for the downfall of communism, and crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 13 Court Gaurd Squads's national animal is the Void, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shinto.

13 Court Gaurd Squads is ranked 138,915^th in the world and 628^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 485.47 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
