The Kingdom of Treze Macacos is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 271 million Macacos love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 48.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Treze Macacos economy, worth 12.2 trillion Bad Works a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 45,200 Bad Works, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Torture is illegal, the long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand, oxygen is commonly known as 'breathinium', and the "swords to plowshares" policy has created a generation of farmers that can kill a yak from 200 yards away. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Treze Macacos's national animal is the Mamacos, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Treze Macacos is ranked 130,045^th in the world and 8^th in Arakeia for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,519.87 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
