The Divider of the Sun of The Forge of Days is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Forge of Days with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 13.518 billion Forge of Daysians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Malleary. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Forge of Daysian economy, worth 614 trillion Spintrias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 45,454 Spintrias, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People who have lived their entire lives in The Forge of Days are shocked to discover that they are not citizens, the immigration office has an express line for people bringing cash in briefcases, gun ownership is compulsory, and tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Forge of Days's national animal is the Caligine, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Unflinching Order.

The Forge of Days is ranked 266,376^th in the world and 30^th in The Mansus for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -3.96 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
