The Easter VrijStaat of Ownzone is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by -VACANT- with an even hand, and renowned for its closed borders, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cheerful population of 16.442 billion Ownzoneans 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. 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 4,262 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 259,254 Eggs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence, -VACANT- has been nicknamed 'Robomop', and students consistently complain that the wi-fi ate their homework. 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 2,198th in the world and 21st in Forest for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 784.34 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
