The Tsardom of Dawcreek is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Tsar Melinda II with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, parental licensing program, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 6.441 billion Dawcreekians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akerfeldt. The average income tax rate is 84.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dawcreekian economy, worth a remarkable 2,124 trillion Elans a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 329,832 Elans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Army uniforms are replaced en masse to accommodate adult soldiers, foreign aid is a seedy business, childhood friends of Tsar Melinda II are living it large abroad at the taxpayers' expense, and the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dawcreek's national animal is the Western Jackdaw, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Humanism.

Dawcreek is ranked 15,090^th in the world and 48^th in Wintreath for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 8,671.22 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
