Day's End

**Overview**History

The Federation of Day’s End, commonly known as Day’s End, is a small interstellar nation located between the northern end of the End Run.

Since its official establishment in 80 BNE, Day's End has become a major center of trade, and a major producer of biologics, ship components, and other high-tech industries that have sprouted from its growing shipyards, space habitats, and confluence of myriad cultures from across the galaxy.

## Government and politics

Day's End is a federal constitutional democracy, with a very limited federal government. The Dayish federal government exists primarily as a way to coordinate efforts between its constituent states, such as defense, the regulation of international trade, and healthcare. These tend to take the form of governmental organizations, such as Intervention, which handles the nation's military operations beyond the nation's borders, and Outreach, which is responsible for the nation's foreign policy and foreign relations.

As another feature of the federal government's limited nature, its unicameral legislature only meets occasionally, composed of representatives from the states, and then disbanding once all of the proposals have been voted on.

Due to the limited role of the federal government, and the devolution that's been baked into Dayish politics from its inception, Dayish citizens focus on local issues and government, and as a consequence, political parties are almost always endemic to a state, or even a region within it.

## Economy

Day’s End has a highly developed market economy that while diversified, is heavily based on its involvement in international trade heading through the two nearby hyperlanes and high-tech industry such as biologics, ship maintenance and production of ship parts, robotics, and production of other sophisticated technological products.

The economy of Day’s End is well-known for being exceptionally free, business-friendly, and dynamic, making it attractive to foreign investment. Adding to this is the carefully maintained reputation it has for being one of the least corrupt nations in the galaxy. This has resulted in many multinational companies having operations present in Day’s End, and a significant part of its workforce is made up of non-Dayish people.

Despite the spotlight the private sector takes in the Dayish economy, and the privatisation of state-owned companies and other state-run operations, the Dayish government still has a sizable stake in the economy, contributing to around a tenth of its total GDP.

### Tourism

Due to the cultural diversity of Day’s End, its proximity to the nearby hyperlanes, and other factors, tourism is a major industry and contributor to the economy, with the nation’s capital often receiving twice its current population in tourists each year.

Dayish tourism aims to be environmentally friendly, taking measures to minimize the impact of tourists and their activity on sites of interest, often using virtual reality and sophisticated technological setups being used to try to separate tourists from points of interest on planets with interesting life and geography in Threshold.

Due to the quality of medical care in Day’s End, medical tourism is also very common, with millions visiting the nation each year to seek care that is unavailable or simply too expensive in their home countries.
