The Republic of Outer Khe Thre is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its public floggings, daily referendums, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 12.301 billion Outer Khe Threans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.0%.

The very strong Outer Khe Threan economy, worth 807 trillion francs a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 65,617 francs, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Traffic cops are puzzled to see that nobody exceeds the speed limits, punitive tariffs protect local industry, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, and travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Outer Khe Thre's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Outer Khe Thre is ranked 123,862^nd in the world and 6^th in Elparia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.32 law-abiding acts per hour.
