The Federal Council Republic of East Owenistan is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Owen Jayne with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.641 billion East Owenistanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yelnats-Zeroni. The average income tax rate is 70.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient East Owenese economy, worth 526 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 144,645 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

A proud mining community is considering a rebellion after the Capital officially renamed them 'District XII', grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, a bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, and East Owenistanians teach life's not worth a damn 'til you can shout out 'I am what I am'. Crime is totally unknown. East Owenistan's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Islam.

East Owenistan is ranked 280,444^th in the world and 6,737^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Beautiful Environments, with 5.59 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
