The Lookout of Outpost V is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The quiet, industrious population of 7.863 billion Outpost Vians 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 Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 22.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Outpost Vian economy, worth 257 trillion florins a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,780 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Outpost V has designated Outpost V City as its capital city, Leader has just been declared ruler of Outpost V in an international press conference, a major religion has been named as Outpost V's national religion, and the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Outpost V's national animal is the panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Outpost V is ranked 182,889^th in the world and 1^st in Alhambra for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.2 law-abiding acts per hour.
