The Republic of Shadowed Dawn is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.751 billion Shadowed Dawnians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.4%.

The strong Shadowed Dawnian economy, worth 107 trillion glimmers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 39,099 glimmers, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 251,999 per year while the poor average 2,451, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Shadowed Dawn's national animal is the black cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Shadowed Dawn is ranked 194,266^th in the world and 341^st in Prison for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 42 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
