The Insurgent Economic Extremist of The Dark System is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Master Economist with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.871 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 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Dark System economy, worth an astonishing 15,800 trillion Dollers 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 1,139,076 Dollers, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 10,659,133 per year while the poor average 10,374, a ratio of 1,027 to 1.

More and more people are signing up for the government party, warfare increasingly resembles a video game, tax returns detail how many games of slots each citizen will be able to play with their refund, and cities are engulfed by smog. 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 7,921^st in the world and 2^nd in The Axis of Evil for Most Pro-Market, scoring 90.33 on the Rand Index.
