The Dominion of Grimdarrk is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.971 billion Grimdarrkians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Spirituality, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 92.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Grimdarrkian economy, worth a remarkable 1,501 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 302,034 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Evidence-based arguments can be arrestable offenses, bicyclists are banned from major roads, the examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, and police conduct raids on children having snail races. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Grimdarrk's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Grimdarrk is ranked 294,228th in the world and 11,270th in Balder for Most Cultured, scoring -82 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
