The Only see in black and whites of Dagger strike is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Saint Wilhelm with an even hand, and remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5.746 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Defence, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55%. A large private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Soda Sales.

Organ donation is compulsory, the recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, mule deers with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped, and all beauty contests have been banned. Crime is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dagger strike's national animal is the mule deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Christianity, and its currency is the quatango.

Dagger strike is ranked 4th in vvardenfell and 26,983rd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
