The House of Dayne is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Lord Edric Dayne with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The democratic, devout population of 4.199 billion Dayneans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Starfall. The average income tax rate is 39.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Daynean economy, worth 166 trillion golden dragons 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 led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 39,461 golden dragons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, thousands of picky mothers-in-law have been recruited to serve as even pickier cookery instructors, songs in 4/4 time are simply too common for the musical cognoscenti, and snitches get riches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Dayne's national animal is the ice dragon and its national religion is Faith of the Seven.

Dayne is ranked 52,468^th in the world and 1^st in Westeros for Nudest, with 201.75 cheeks per square mile.
