The Dominion of Dark_Warchief is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dark_Warchief with an even hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles. Its hard-nosed population of 1.53 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Darkopolis. The average income tax rate is 76%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

The government has outlawed extremist parties, most of the military's funding goes into researching space-age weaponry, all footpaths have tollbooths, and hairdressers are among those who have disappeared overnight. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dark_Warchief's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Anti-Satanic Crusade, and its currency is the Euro.

Dark_Warchief is ranked 262nd in Europe and 69,738th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
