The Galactic Imperium Invictum of Darkium is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Supreme Emperor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, digital currency, and national health service. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 29.231 billion Darkians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, 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 Dawn's City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Darkiumian economy, worth an astonishing 14,673 trillion DSCS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 501,980 DSCS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sharing vacation pictures requires written consent from the entire beach resort, retired racing Imperial Dragons are served truffles for breakfast, children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again, and prices for nearly everything reach all-time highs as business tax breaks are discontinued. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Darkium's national animal is the Imperial Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Darkium is ranked 15,090^th in the world and 954^th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 7,496.93 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
