The Republic of Outlook is a huge, pleasant nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working population of 898 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 13.9%.

The Outlookian economy, worth 43.7 trillion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Retail, and Book Publishing. 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 239,662^nd in the world and 7^th in Microsoft 365 for Largest Black Market, with 235 billion Standard Monetary Units.
