The Queen's State of The Outside is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 10.856 billion Outsideans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.4%.

The thriving Outsidean economy, worth 264 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 24,352 betales, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary and citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. The Outside's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Outside is ranked 264,770^th in the world and 3^rd in Upper Peninsula for Lowest Crime Rates, with 41.93 law-abiding acts per hour.
