The Retired Founder Nation of Adawn is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, public floggings, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 18.973 billion Adawnians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yagustauch. The average income tax rate is 22.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Adawnian economy, worth a remarkable 1,509 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 79,548 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Disadvantaged youths often commit felonies to enhance their educational prospects, the national census includes an opt-in to join the government-run dating service, serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk, and the military maintains a fierce arsenal of 'Cure Missiles'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Adawn's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christianity.

Adawn is ranked 206,353^rd in the world and 3^rd in The League of Conservative Nations for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
