The Dominion of Outer Shenendoah is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Pawpaw Appalachia with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.222 billion Outer Shenendoahians 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 Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tom's Brook. The average income tax rate is 57.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Outer Shenendoahian economy, worth 171 trillion shiny sea shells a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 140,012 shiny sea shells, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Prison reforms have replaced communal luaus with communal loos, even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, the military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, and religious terrorism is considered to be an Act of God by insurance companies. 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 189,564^th in the world and 4,983^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 33.9 billion Standard Monetary Units.
