The Dominion of Daedalus One is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.197 billion Daedalus Oneans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The thriving Daedalus Onean economy, worth 228 trillion aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 71,553 aurums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 253,277 per year while the poor average 14,595, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public and surveillance cameras are banned. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Daedalus One's national animal is the bovina, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Daedalus One is ranked 217,145^th in the world and 1^st in Daedalus for Most Patriotic, with 4.83 flags saluted per person per day.
