The Federation of Outer Planets is a large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 117 million Outies live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The thriving Outie economy, worth 11.2 trillion unicoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 95,392 unicoins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 513,517 per year while the poor average 9,218, a ratio of 55.7 to 1.

The nation's interest in space is at an all-time high while interest in saving the planet is at an all-time low, animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, and open-casket funerals are avoided at all cost. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Outer Planets's national animal is the Striped autaka, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Outer Planets is ranked 5,098^th in the world and 69^th in the West Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6,552.18 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
