The Dominion of Dark Tacenda is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Tyranness Ella with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 24.368 billion Dark Tacendans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Pandemonium. The average income tax rate is 84.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dark Tacendan economy, worth a remarkable 6,307 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 258,861 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

One can wake up in Dark Tacenda and have breakfast in Bigtopia, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, citizens have never heard foreign radio, and small children are frequently chased by rehabilitated pitbulls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dark Tacenda's national animal is the blue jay, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Tyranness Worship.

Dark Tacenda is ranked 112,310th in the world and 3rd in Spoiled Cats for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 41,158.98 Standard Monetary Units.
