The IxProtectorate of Outer Daviston is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Ike Davis with an iron fist, and renowned for its avant-garde cinema, otherworldly petting zoo, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.521 billion Outer Davistonians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ikestown. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Outer Davistonian economy, worth 275 trillion Buckoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,185 Buckoes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 344,012 per year while the poor average 26,496, a ratio of 13.0 to 1.

The people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli, cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, internet moderators work overtime to remove memes comparing Ike Davis to cartoon bears, and grade school teachers mark homework with red "CITATION NEEDED" stamps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Outer Daviston's national animal is the Buckaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Valley Feverism.

Outer Daviston is ranked 271,119^th in the world and 2^nd in Baseball for Fattest Citizens, with 6.62 Obesity Rate.
