The Deadly Complex of Darkside Dare is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 12.774 billion Time Bandits 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 medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.0%.

The very strong Darkside economy, worth 709 trillion Cubits a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 55,574 Cubits, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Darkside Dare's national animal is the Klingon.

Darkside Dare is ranked 96,826^th in the world and 5^th in Bytes for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,203.57 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
