The Easter VrijStaat of Ownzone is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by -VACANT- with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, devotion to social welfare, and labour-free parental leave. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful population of 17.484 billion Ownzoneans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vault 75. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Ownzonean economy, worth a remarkable 4,526 trillion Eggs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 258,869 Eggs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
13-year-old internet trolls are treated as a threat on par with terrorists, cute fluffy little -VACANTS are increasingly popular exotic pets, the New Ownzonean Thesaurus lists "love" and "oppress" as synonyms, and the church encourages double-dipping. Crime is totally unknown. Ownzone's national animal is the Cow Murloc, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dudeism.
Ownzone is ranked 141,702nd in the world and 159th in Forest for Most Extreme, scoring 19.56 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
