The Kingdom of The Sword in the Darkness is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its frequent executions and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 16.536 billion Warriors live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.1%.
The very strong Sword in the Darknessian economy, worth 858 trillion Dragons a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. Average income is 51,942 Dragons, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 236,389 per year while the poor average 6,977, a ratio of 33.9 to 1.
Meat-eating is frowned upon, the tenet of free speech is held dear, the death penalty has been reintroduced, and college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Sword in the Darkness's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
The Sword in the Darkness is ranked 101,781st in the world and 1st in The Imperial Army for Most Cultured, scoring 66 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
