The Deadly Complex of Darkside Dare is a titanic, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 12.767 billion Time Bandits are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.0%.

The very strong Darkside economy, worth 709 trillion Cubits a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 55,574 Cubits, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Darkside Dare's national animal is the Klingon.

Darkside Dare is ranked 144,124th in the world and 8th in Bytes for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
