The Empire of Owl is a titanic, efficient nation, renowned for its burgeoning owl population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 21.21 billion Owlians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.0%.

The very strong Owlian economy, worth a remarkable 1,364 trillion Coins a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Soda Sales, and Trout Farming. Average income is 64,312 Coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 196,461 per year while the poor average 16,318, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Owl's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Owl is ranked 206,646^th in the world and 1^st in Land Of Nations for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 846.49 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
