The Republic of Owion 2 is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 649 million Owion 2ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Owion city. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Owion 2ian economy, worth 43.4 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,831 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Owion city State Museum is said to be haunted by ghastly musicians playing 'Nearer Violet to Thee', the "swords to plowshares" policy has created a generation of farmers that can kill a yak from 200 yards away, torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, and most believe it doesn't hurt to embrace free trade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Owion 2's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Owion 2 is ranked 290,023^rd in the world and 120^th in Owion for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 24.22 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
