The District of -------------- Outpost is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Liard with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 11.418 billion Outpostmen hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 14.1%.

The -------------- Outpostian economy, worth 437 trillion aurums a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 38,330 aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, Liard has just been declared ruler of -------------- Outpost in an international press conference, -------------- Outpost has designated District City as its capital city, and Liard knows that some internet activities are strictly solitary (-------------- Outpost has found 1 easter egg). Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. -------------- Outpost's national animal is the bovina, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

-------------- Outpost is ranked 50,071^st in the world and 2^nd in New Western Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 618.31 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
