The Republic of Outlook is a huge, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working population of 818 million Outlookians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 13.9%.

The Outlookian economy, worth 39.9 trillion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 48,716 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Outlook's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Outlook is ranked 219,921^st in the world and 13^th in Microsoft 365 for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
