The Empire of Night Owl 55 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The quiet, industrious population of 1.316 billion Night Owl 55ians 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 medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 35.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Night Owl 55ian economy, worth 67.6 trillion banks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,374 banks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, more than one company makes the board game Monopoly, pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall, and city workers have declared that rolling markets aren't good for business after all. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Night Owl 55's national animal is the owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Night Owl 55 is ranked 141,921^st in the world and 230^th in Oofery for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 101.14 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
