The Republic of Outernaut is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 364 million Outernautians 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, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 28.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Outernautian economy, worth 13.5 trillion beeps a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 36,961 beeps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Many of the unemployed have had the fight taken out of them, beggars lack pockets for spare change, Outernaut has designated Outernaut City as its capital city, and increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Outernaut's national animal is the arf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Outernaut is ranked 54,663^rd in the world and 50^th in Pluralpedia for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 47.62 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
