The Joint Defense Command of Outer Solaria is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by CASTELLAN with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.311 billion Outer Solarians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Borealis. The average income tax rate is 87.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Outer Solarian economy, worth 614 trillion Auroras a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 142,487 Auroras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Too many developers spoil the codebase, apples shaped like baguettes have become a strange new food fad, banana distribution among collective farm workers is an important topic in public discourse, and people with dyslexia are told to tough through it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Outer Solaria's national animal is the Microbe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Outer Solaria is ranked 38,257th in the world and 2nd in Enomenos for Highest Drug Use, scoring 310.14 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
