The Caliphate of Darqas is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its digital currency, compulsory military service, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.785 billion Darqasians 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Darqas. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Darqasian economy, worth a remarkable 1,180 trillion Dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 246,651 Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, the only way to escape lengthy prison terms is in a body bag, disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire, and the military is recruiting war criminals to join its weapons research teams. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Darqas's national animal is the camel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Islam.

Darqas is ranked 258,927^th in the world and 6,982^nd in Lazarus for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -81 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
