The Matriarchy of Dawnonia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Kathryn Janeway with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, anti-smoking policies, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 16.127 billion Dawnonians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Solitude. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The Dawnonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,635 trillion Dawnons a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 101,402 Dawnons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, the government is proud to report that ten percent of all tax revenue goes to funding suspected terrorist organizations, skin-tone prom dresses are more unpopular than ever, and construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dawnonia's national animal is the Honey Badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dawnonia is ranked 2,978^th in the world and 11^th in Spiritus for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 5,636.75 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
