Urban Areas
Due to Owlias large population in relation to its area, the mainland is highly urbanised. Owlias Capital and Largest city, River City, is one of the most populous on kerbin.
Politics
Government
The Owlian Union is ruled by a central monarch- the King/Queen (In this case, Queen Allison). Below the Monarch is the Prime Minister role. The PM (Currently: Kara Kerman) is most similar to the old role of President. They are elected, with 8-year terms of service. They are advised by Ministers of various departments, such as Defense, Education, Security, Energy, etc. All laws are passed through the 99-seat Congress (See image), with Senators elected every 4 years.
Politics
The Traditionalist Party of the Owlian Union have had much of a hold on the Owlian Congress since the days of Allison Kerman, but recent years have seen the Progressive Party come closer. As of the 2086 elections, the Traditionalists have 47.5% of the seats, while the Progressives have 29.3%, the Moderates have 21.2%, and the Workers Party have 2%. The Traditionalist Party, in power for much of Owlia's history, strive to continue the policies of Alli Kerman's presidency, but recent years under Allison have led to some shifts in policy. Meanwhile, Progressive candidates attempt to go away from almost any moves the Traditionalists attempt- opting for stronger power over the people with more government control over business. The Moderate Party, which originated in Delras following the war, aim for the best-of-both. Despite this approach, the party has struggled to maintain its membership over the years. A newer party, the Workers Party, attempts to bring back the socialist days of the Owlian Union- back in the 50's and 60's.

Military
Air Force
The Owlian Air Force is split up into three sections- the Owlian Union Air Force, Regional Air Force, and Owlian Naval Air Force. All three have two sections- the Air Force, and Army Air Force (Except the ONAF).
Owlian Union Air Force
The Owlian Union Air Force is the most powerful of the three branches- serving across the world. The aircraft involved include the Rivera Dynamics F-10S and F-10L fighter jets, the National Industries F-13D Tomcat, and the AF-12 Valkyrie fighter. The Army Air Force side includes numerous air-to-ground attackers, with the F/A-13D Tomcat, A-11D Warthog, and A-12 Valkyrie serving to protect allied ground assets. All of these aircraft serve in the RAF, but in lesser numbers.
Serving aboard the USS Allison T. Kerman aircraft carrier (Enterprise Class), aircraft in the ONAF rely on either vertical takeoff/landing or low stall speeds to achieve carrier operations from the launch ramp of the Owlian Carrier. Aircraft in the ONAF include the F-10C Hurricane, F-
Army
The Owlian Union Army is currently the main need of the Owlian Union, as it is mainly a few imported IFV's, small technicals (Named the WASP), and not much else.
The Navy is currently being upgraded for the modern age, with the main branch being built around the Enterprise Class Aircraft Carrier imported from the nation of Vocavium.

History
The Republic of Owlia
The Republic of Owlia was formed in the late 2040's. The country was based on full equality between the lower and middle classes but was severely flawed when it came to the upper classes. Wealthy million and billionaires were frequently seen close to or in the ears of prevalent law-makers of the Republic.
The War of 2047, and the Migration
Following the Communist Revolts of 2047, almost every Owlian Republic City was engulfed in the fires of war. Communist rebels with the support of the Arcadian Union came into conflict with National forces from the West. The Owlian Union was formed.
The Elections
In the first ever Presidential Election of 2045, Interm President Alli Kerman was unanimously elected to be President of Owlia.
The Owlian Union was very quiet under the rule of Alli Kerman. Building up the Nationalist Party to what is now, Alli believed that the way to achieve peace in the world was to be a small target and stay out of the way. Because of this, the Owlian Union was never seen much on the international stage- instead opting to stay isolated from the outside world.
Allison Kerman
2070 Elections
Following President Alli Kerman's announcement that she would retire after 2070, the nation was left to figure out who would be the next leader of the Owlian Union. During the 2069 Traditionalist Debates, Alli gave very vocal support to the 23-year-old out of Sanctuary, who quickly rocketed up in the polls. Following her election in 2070, Allison hosted the first ever River City Conference- a 2-week conference in Owlia's capital city for international diplomats to answer the question: "How can Owlia help your nation?" During the conference, however, it was announced that Alli had died of cancer at the age of 50.
Departure from the norm
Allison Kerman was quick to rock the boat in the Owlian Union. She has been seen out in public more, meeting foreign leaders internationally, and has hosted the River City Conference since 2070. She has been personally present for conferences around the world, including Fegeland, Aquaria, Elysium, Cloweish, and Belanirislav. During the Pan-Feguanesian Conference in Huturoa, Fegeland, Allison fell in love with the Emperor of Fegeland, Namresh Tahura Kerman. They married in 2079, with their two children- Julie Tahura Kerman and Vaitao Terei Tahura Kerman- being born in 2082. Through the years, Allison has strengthened relations with leaders all over the world such as Aquaria's Lambchop Kerman, Krome's Rachel Kerman, Solaria's Iceni Kerman, Vocavium's Calbrett Shatter-Horn and Raminus Shatter-Horn, and others from all corners of the planet.
The Monarchy
In 2086, President Allison Kerman announced that the Owlian Union would become a Monarchy. The two children- both of Owlian and Feguan royalty- will continue their rule of their respective nations following the passing on of either parent. The first Prime Minister of Owlia, Kara Kerman of Liberty, was selected by Allison for her "Natural leadership abilities," and "Her ability to see both sides of the story." The next election is scheduled for 2096.
Belanirislav, 2090
In the 2090 Belanirislav Conference, Queen Allison was attacked by a BNK terrorist- injecting her with a poison from behind. An international manhunt ensued, with Nikita Vasyl Kerman being arrested in Ajemla, Aquaria after a two-week chase. The incident highlighted the dangers of travelling abroad, and the Queen stated she is unlikely to attend future international conferences.
