A Darker Past

The Former Archempress of A Darker Past is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 31.699 billion Darker Pastians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Environment, and Public Transport are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 60.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Darker Pastian economy, worth 610 trillion euros a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 19,243 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The A Darker Past Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', the tenet of free speech is held dear, the people of A Darker Past are renowned for their nihilistic attitudes, and fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A Darker Past's national animal is the llama, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

A Darker Past is ranked 998th in the world and 1st in The Shadowlands for Most Stationary, with 4,756.70528904 days.
