The Kingdom of Darkmen is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by agustus nero with an iron fist, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, infamous sell-swords, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 21.521 billion Darkmenians 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 minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Industry and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Darkmen City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Darkmenian economy, worth an astonishing 11,919 trillion human femaleses a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 553,834 human femaleses, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,308,314 per year while the poor average 18,369, a ratio of 234 to 1.

Civic leaders eagerly encourage sinners to spend more time on their knees, citizens are arrested for naturally producing proteins, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, and teach an angler how to phish and he can make a living. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Darkmen's national animal is the rancors, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Darkmen is ranked 38,016^th in the world and 884^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.51 law-abiding acts per hour.
