The Insurgent Economic Extremist of The Dark System is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Master Economist with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, sprawling nuclear power plants, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.438 billion Dark Systems 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 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 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Dark System economy, worth an astonishing 11,571 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 1,011,703 Dollers, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,719,689 per year while the poor average 87,804, a ratio of 65.1 to 1.

Robotic spouses prove to be just as imperfect as flesh and blood ones, the government props up questionable pizza establishments in the name of health, the Treasury and Finance Ministry have been outsourced, and on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons. 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 29^th in the world and 2^nd in The Axis of Evil for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 177,816.76 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
