The Mafia Economic Extremist of The Dark System is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Master Economist with an iron fist, and renowned for its flagrant waste-dumping, sprawling nuclear power plants, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 15.539 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 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Dark System economy, worth an astonishing 18,711 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 1,204,148 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 11,271,151 per year while the poor average 10,927, a ratio of 1,031 to 1.

Screams of citizens being "re-educated" echo throughout the rural regions of The Dark System, you can say what you like about the genocidal murderers that rule The Dark System but at least the trains run on time, family trees become bare as entire branches are lopped off, and exports of chewing gum are inexplicably falling. 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 228,914^th in the world and 40^th in The Axis of Evil for Least Corrupt Governments, with 0.5 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
