The Colony of Owaya is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Governor-General James Taylor with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. The quiet, industrious population of 3.652 billion Owayans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Walshingham. The average income tax rate is 22.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Owayan economy, worth 182 trillion Lucans a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,868 Lucans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Lobbyists are trying to convince government to recategorize most natural disasters as "non-critical naturogenic inconveniences", school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, the nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear", and vaccinations are mandatory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Owaya's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Frankenlischian Andyism.

Owaya is ranked 189,289th in the world and 7th in Wishtonia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 417.74 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
