The Rogue Nation of -Outer-Heaven- is a large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 20 million are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. The average income tax rate is 74%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, nudity is frowned upon, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Outer-Heaven-'s national animal is the snake, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the dollar.

MILITARY

-Outer-Heaven-'s military is compsed of 5 branches, Army, Navy, Air Force, and it's privateised Militia known as Special Operational Forces (AKA SOF). Of the three, SOF is the most unique. SOF is a Multinational force similar to the French Forien Legon. SOF is lead by the the Military through OHSOC (-Outer-Heaven- Special Operations Command), but is otherwise a seperate entity. SOF provides its services to -Outer-Heaven- in exchange for government funding. This loosely tied Militia allows OH to skirt interational laws of war.
