The Joint Defense Command of Outer Solaria is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by CASTELLAN with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.304 billion Outer Solarians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Borealis. The average income tax rate is 87.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Outer Solarian economy, worth 613 trillion Auroras a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 142,487 Auroras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Too many developers spoil the codebase, apples shaped like baguettes have become a strange new food fad, banana distribution among collective farm workers is an important topic in public discourse, and people with dyslexia are told to tough through it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Outer Solaria's national animal is the Microbe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Outer Solaria is ranked 254,708^th in the world and 31^st in Enomenos for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -4.1 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
