The Scientific Powerhouse of Dark Matter is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by General Superintendent -------- ------- with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, unlimited-speed roads, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 20.269 billion Espers 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Academy City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient scientific economy, worth a remarkable 7,940 trillion Academy City's Yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 391,762 Academy City's Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, conversion therapy coupons are a popular present for coming of age ceremonies, and there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dark Matter's national animal is the Dark Matter, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Irreligion.

Dark Matter is ranked 1,183rd in the world and 30th in Europe for Most Cultured, scoring 349 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
