The Union of the Republic of Outer Sta Therrouro is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by President Kohl with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.182 billion Outer Sta Therrouroans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Petrograd. The average income tax rate is 71.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Outer Sta Therrouroan economy, worth a remarkable 1,030 trillion Federal Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 125,944 Federal Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies, business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, bad punctuation has come to a full stop, and people who have lived their entire lives in Outer Sta Therrouro are shocked to discover that they are not citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Outer Sta Therrouro's national animal is the Socialist Sandwich Snatcher, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Right Wing Populism.

Outer Sta Therrouro is ranked 115,810^th in the world and 2,680^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,759.54 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
