The Excidium Planetis Subsection of Dawn Fleet is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Radiant Dawn with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The compassionate population of 4.864 billion Excidians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Hydra. The average income tax rate is 25.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Dawn Fleetian economy, worth 287 trillion Dawn Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Pizza Delivery, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 59,158 Dawn Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Posters remind people that 'Hoarding Mushrooms Is Theft', politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, suburban backyards are seized by the government and turned into national parks, and old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Dawn Fleet's national animal is the Ichthyomorph, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Mechanology.

Dawn Fleet is ranked 68,703^rd in the world and 100^th in Horizon for Highest Poor Incomes, with 43,475.76 Standard Monetary Units.
