The Democratic Capitalism of South Easthern is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by CEO Dominic Jiyu with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 8.623 billion Owls 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hoot City. The average income tax rate is 21.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Owlian economy, worth a remarkable 2,584 trillion Feather Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 299,677 Feather Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, and the nation's interest in space is at an all-time high while interest in saving the planet is at an all-time low. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. South Easthern's national animal is the Fire Bearded Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Creator.

South Easthern is ranked 2,400^th in the world and 4^th in The Hole To Hide In for Smartest Citizens, with 170.58 quips per hour.
