The Scientific Powerhouse of Dark Matter is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by General Superintendent with an iron fist, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 21.572 billion Espers are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Academy City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient scientific economy, worth a remarkable 8,412 trillion Academy City's Yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 389,980 Academy City's Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are now allowed to discuss whether General Superintendent is the greatest ruler ever or simply the greatest ruler of this generation, children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again, the citizenship exam requires years of study to actually pass, and skin-tone prom dresses are more unpopular than ever. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dark Matter's national animal is the Dark Matter, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Irreligion.

Dark Matter is ranked 3,938th in the world and 24th in Europe for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 54,502.06 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
