The Armed Republic of Staos Cral the Dawn is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by OFF1C3R B1GL3R with an iron fist, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, complete lack of prisons, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.185 billion Dawnians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Bunker. The average income tax rate is 84.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Staos Cral the Dawnian economy, worth 834 trillion Coyote Coins 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, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 199,437 Coyote Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians, mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, children's bedrooms are often decorated with posters of successful accountants, and children get arrested for floating paper boats on lakes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Staos Cral the Dawn's national animal is the Coyote, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Celtic.

Staos Cral the Dawn is ranked 8,896^th in the world and 458^th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 168.82 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
