The Insurgent Economic Extremist of The Dark System is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Master Economist with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, digital currency, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.836 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 12,201 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 1,030,911 Dollers, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 7,442,587 per year while the poor average 45,590, a ratio of 163 to 1.

The military has forsaken terrestrial warfare, those who investigate UFOs tend to wake up delirious on abandoned roads, terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors, and the police use sound cannons and mortars to deal with loud parties. 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, and its national religion is The Dark System.

The Dark System is ranked 5,086^th in the world and 2^nd in The Axis of Evil for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 163.25 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
