The Constitutional Monarchy of Darkarion is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Enebris with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed population of 1.227 billion Darkions are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Degnon. The average income tax rate is 85.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Darkion economy, worth 177 trillion donins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 144,624 donins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
People believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more, newspapers and TV broadcasters are given a list of 'acceptable words', the police have reaffirmed their tough stance on drugs, and GP clinics are inundated by patients requesting prescriptions for alcohol. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Darkarion's national animal is the Arctic Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islamم.
Darkarion is ranked 20,477th in the world and 3rd in Islam for Safest, scoring 113.59 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
