The POW Camp of Stalag-13 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Colonel Klinky KCB with an iron fist, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, zero percent divorce rate, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 9.695 billion Stalag-13ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stalag-13. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Stalag-13ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,312 trillion Stalag Marks a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 238,557 Stalag Marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 749,270 per year while the poor average 58,155, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

Hit TV show 'The eXecution Factor' is a critical success, diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, the nation is currently revamping its entire education system, and criminal convictions are routinely thrown out because the accused's grandmother didn't get to testify about their good character. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stalag-13's national animal is the Schultz Reindeer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Haruhiism-SOS Brigade.

Stalag-13 is ranked 8,490^th in the world and 1^st in SOS Brigade for Lowest Crime Rates, with 104.29 law-abiding acts per hour.
