The Private with command economy of The Night Owl is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 30.52 billion Night Owlians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 58.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Night Owlian economy, worth a remarkable 2,153 trillion dollar par avions a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 70,552 dollar par avions, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Schoolchildren must pass a six-month Ethics and Safety Committee Assessment before they are allowed to mix baking soda and vinegar, excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, nouveau riche farmers diligently take care of their golden calf herds, and soldiers with colourful mohawks make themselves perfect targets for snipers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Night Owl's national animal is the freethinking owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Night Owl is ranked 32,765^th in the world and 7^th in Yertania City for Safest, scoring 108.03 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
