The United Socialist States of Crisantemo13 is a mammoth, cultured nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, rampant corporate plagiarism, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 6.951 billion Crisantemians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

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 92.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Crisantemo13ian economy, worth 908 trillion aspirines a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,646 aspirines, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Outdated physical currency is considered a biohazard, foreign aid is a seedy business, if someone says there's plenty of living space in Crisantemo13 they're lyin', and scientists are terrified of fabulous new breakthroughs. Crime, especially youth-related, 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 111,188^th in the world and 221^st in The Communist Bloc for Largest Populations, with 6.95 billion capita.
