The Armed Republic of Daybreaks is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 214 million Daybreakers enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 41.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Daybreaker economy, worth 9.58 trillion Kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 44,771 Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, going on a diet invalidates your passport, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, and political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daybreaks's national animal is the Golden Lion Tamarin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Daybreaks is ranked 303,748^th in the world and 197^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Largest Black Market, with 14.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
