The Constitutional Monarchy of Darkon Empire is a small, genial nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 45 million Darkonians 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.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 33.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Darkonian economy, worth 2.99 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 66,443 Imperial Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, most citizens in Darkon Empire are abject pyrophobes after extremely graphic pamphlets were mailed nationwide by the government, and Darkon Empire's soft-touch approach to diplomacy has made it known as the 'push-over' of the region. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Darkon Empire's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Darkon Empire is ranked 85,923^rd in the world and 91^st in Karma for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,123.75 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
