The Borderlands of Daring is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and frequent executions. The hard-working population of 4.978 billion Daringians 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.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 21.7%.

The Daringian economy, worth 234 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 47,051 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Weathermen are being arrested for attempting to read the future, the most popular stadium acts are one-off performances, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, and parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daring's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Daring is ranked 112,021^st in the world and 7^th in British Royal Navy for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,969.72 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
