The Mafian Economic Extremist of The Dark System is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Master Economist with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, otherworldly petting zoo, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.314 billion Dark Systems are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Dark System Main Command Centre. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Dark System economy, worth an astonishing 20,199 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 1,238,173 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 11,591,662 per year while the poor average 11,210, a ratio of 1,034 to 1.
People are often woken up by rubbish music, colonials are offended to find a local animal has been re-named the 'Furry Four-Legged Marsupial Monster', foreign heads of state have taken out restraining orders against Dark System ambassadors, and skyscrapers get built in just days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Dark System's national animal is the Monster, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
The Dark System is ranked 935th in the world and 1st in The Axis of Evil for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 24,809.04 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
