The Galactic Imperium Invictum of Darkium is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by the Supreme Emperor with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 30.274 billion Darkians 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, socially-minded, 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 Dawn's City. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Darkiumian economy, worth an astonishing 15,295 trillion DSCS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 505,248 DSCS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Costumed characters wearing Maxtopian Grass leaves remind citizens that the government now sells the green stuff, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network, and foreigners must sell an arm and a leg to afford surgery in Darkium. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Darkium's national animal is the Imperial Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Darkium is ranked 625th in the world and 27th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 461 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
