The Democratic Republic of Outer Plains is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The devout population of 725 million Outer Plainsians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Snina. The average income tax rate is 27.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Outer Plainsian economy, worth 38.6 trillion Oples a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,299 Oples, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", Outer Plains has designated Snina as its capital city, paralegals spend all day Hewlett-Packing attorneys' law briefs, and homeowners on prime real estate have been seen dodging giant bulldozers with cartoon characters painted on them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Outer Plains's national animal is the Unicorn.

Outer Plains is ranked 237,315^th in the world and 4,632^nd in the South Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 8.61 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
