The People's Republic of HMS Dauntless is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.136 billion HMS Dauntlessians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 24.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The HMS Dauntlessian economy, worth 232 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 45,120 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

You can tell when HMS Dauntlessians are being snarky by the fact their lips are moving, the "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery, gun ownership is compulsory, and politicians are battling inequality by declaring themselves better than everyone else. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HMS Dauntless's national animal is the Kitsune, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

HMS Dauntless is ranked 270,998^th in the world and 11^th in Cruiser Fleet for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -4.9 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
