The Dominion of Outer Shenendoah is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Pawpaw Appalachia with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, keen interest in outer space, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate population of 1.526 billion Outer Shenendoahians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tom's Brook. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Outer Shenendoahian economy, worth 230 trillion shiny sea shells a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 150,997 shiny sea shells, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Replacement organs are grown in vats, politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, conspiracy theorists allege Tom's Brook's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols, and artists are pillars of society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Outer Shenendoah's national animal is the Grey Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Church of the Eternal Grey Wolf.

Outer Shenendoah is ranked 4,356^th in the world and 193^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 18,167.33 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
