The Borderlands of Daisy Dao is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.345 billion Daisy Daoans 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 is primarily concerned with Administration, although Education, Defense, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46.9%.

The all-consuming Daisy Daoan economy, worth 311 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 93,140 Golds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 265,907 per year while the poor average 26,001, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.

Agricultural employees work for peanuts, innocent people are routinely stoned to death by frenzied lynch mobs, skateboarding is punishable by heavy fines, and an increasing number of citizens believe the world is flat. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem. Daisy Dao's national animal is the Crow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Daisy Dao is ranked 259,916^th in the world and 14,174^th in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
