The Dominion of Darth Bader is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its state-planned economy, anti-smoking policies, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cynical population of 8.41 billion Darth Baderians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ruthless. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Darth Baderian economy, worth a remarkable 1,454 trillion Criptoes 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 172,938 Criptoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point, young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion, and most pop videos prominently feature the Darth Baderian flag. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Darth Bader's national animal is the Gerbil, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Darth Bader is ranked 11,457^th in the world and 210^th in the Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 7,254.24 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
