CoDominium is a series of future history novels written by American scientist and writer Jerry Pournelle, along with several co-authors, such as Larry Niven and S.M. Stirling. CoDominium as a setting diverges from real-life history around 1991 and ends at 3051 AD. The CoDominium (CD) is a political alliance and union between the United States and the Soviet Union in Pournelle's fictional history. Formed to maintain planetary stability, the CD becomes a de facto planetary government and later an interstellar empire, though it halts scientific and political evolution. The U.S. during the CD era is a welfare state with distinct social classes: Citizens and Taxpayers. The CD eventually collapses in 2103-2104 and is succeeded as galactic hegemon by the First and Second Empires of Man. Colonies in the CoDominium are established on habitable planets, founded by various groups such as ethnic minorities, religious groups, and businesses. Elite colonies have advanced technology and fleets, allowing them some independence from the CD. Later on in the timeline, the Outies, systems that retained enough technology to pose a threat, serve as a constant challenge for the Imperial Navy. Jennifer R. Pournelle's novel Outies is a sequel that explores themes of alienation and the impact of biology on destiny.
