The Republic of Shots Outcasts is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 508 million Shots Outcastsians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.8%.

The strong Shots Outcastsian economy, worth 25.3 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales and Retail. Average income is 49,856 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.8 times as much as the poorest.

Old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, it is said that the captain goes down with the ship but ecological protection goes up, amusement park rides frequently collapse due to lack of maintenance, and health inspectors are seen eating black truffle fondue with their bottled water. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shots Outcasts's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Shots Outcasts is ranked 244,491^st in the world and 1^st in Shots Outcasts for Highest Poor Incomes, with 16,271.55 Standard Monetary Units.
