The Crepuscular Conspiracy of A Dark Shadow is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, strictly enforced bedtime, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 38.38 billion Raiders are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The all-consuming Shadow economy, worth a remarkable 4,184 trillion Mehs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 109,021 Mehs, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 579,541 per year while the poor average 10,820, a ratio of 53.6 to 1.

A crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun, gun ownership is compulsory, skateboarding is punishable by heavy fines, and adultery has been made a capital offence. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force. A Dark Shadow's national animal is the Shadow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

A Dark Shadow is ranked 23,244th in the world and 2nd in The Children of the Grave for Most Stationary, with 1,491.38465662432 days.
