The Confederacy of Outer Natona is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.181 billion Outer Natonans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Outer Natonan economy, worth 179 trillion euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Cheese Exports. Average income is 82,135 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are frequently searched for illegal weapons, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, genetic screening weeds out citizens whose legs don't bend easily at the knee, and the government is seen as openly hostile to all religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Outer Natona's national animal is the snail, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Outer Natona is ranked 3,803^rd in the world and 64^th in the Rejected Realms for Safest, scoring 132.93 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
