The Kingdom of Dawcreek is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Kari Steffensen with an iron fist, and renowned for its national health service, flagrant waste-dumping, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 10.688 billion Dawcreekians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alholm. The average income tax rate is 88.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dawcreekian economy, worth a remarkable 3,552 trillion Kroner a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 332,367 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, dogs are encouraged to confront the psychodynamic roots of their desire to be "good boys", political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, and party-lovers often change religions just for the weekend. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dawcreek's national animal is the Elk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Paganism.

Dawcreek is ranked 563^rd in the world and 1^st in Wintreath for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 21,800.9 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
