The Galactic Imperium Invictum of Darkium is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by the Supreme Emperor with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, free-roaming dinosaurs, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 32.018 billion Darkians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The medium-sized, corrupt, 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 16,142 trillion DSCS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 504,172 DSCS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Claims of miracles are met with calls to eradicate religion as superstitious nonsense, both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade, cars speed down national highways while drivers sleep at the wheel, and surrealist houses shaped like mushrooms and volcanoes dominate the wealthiest neighborhoods. 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 127^th in the world and 5^th in Lazarus for Largest Governments, scoring 103.59 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
