The Federal Council Republic of East Owenistan is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Owen Jayne with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 5.159 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yelnats-Zeroni. The average income tax rate is 74.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient East Owenese economy, worth 738 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 143,157 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-ruble treacle machine, the consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award, newspapers are celebrating Owen Jayne saving over a million cats from trees, and skateparks can be found in every city. 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 Shrekism.

East Owenistan is ranked 265,727^th in the world and 4,205^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Conservative, scoring 34.33 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
