The Whole Love of Dawned On Me is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.75 billion Dawned On Means are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Dawned On Mean economy, worth 930 trillion wilcoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 137,886 wilcoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Sex offenders find themselves cut off from the ability to repeat their crimes, lifeguards are more concerned with watching for sharks than struggling swimmers, the "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dawned On Me's national animal is the whole love, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Dawned On Me is ranked 22,288th in the world and 45th in Stereo Hearts for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87.9 law-abiding acts per hour.
