The Dominion of Outer Shenendoah is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Pawpaw Appalachia with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 1.504 billion Outer Shenendoahians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tom's Brook. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Outer Shenendoahian economy, worth 226 trillion shiny sea shells a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 150,732 shiny sea shells, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Agreeing to appear on TV is often the best way to access social care, returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site, antique comic book collectors are disappointed to hear that their treasures are worth exactly as little as their mothers said they were, and advertisers are struggling to make water sound cool to a twitchy public. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Outer Shenendoah's national animal is the Grey Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Church of the Eternal Grey Wolf.

Outer Shenendoah is ranked 164,774^th in the world and 6,975^th in The North Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 12.74 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
