The Mafian Economic Extremist of The Dark System is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Master Economist with an iron fist, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, aversion to nipples, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.308 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 99.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Dark System economy, worth an astonishing 20,183 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 1,237,672 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 11,586,976 per year while the poor average 11,206, a ratio of 1,034 to 1.
Homeless people can be found sleeping on streets in front of unoccupied second homes, everybody's got wood thanks to Master Economist, photos of picturesque coastal buildings are set against a backdrop of smokestacks and ship hulls, and people are often woken up by rubbish music. 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 1,880th in the world and 2nd in The Axis of Evil for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 6,707.04 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
