The Mafia Economic Extremist of The Dark System is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Master Economist with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, enslaved workforce, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 15.33 billion Dark Systems are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Dark System Main Command Centre. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Dark System economy, worth an astonishing 18,341 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 1,196,474 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 11,198,621 per year while the poor average 10,867, a ratio of 1,030 to 1.

The government is a law unto itself, Master Economist's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide, it is said that a Dark System woman's work is never done, and urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Dark System's national animal is the Monster, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Dark System is ranked 78^th in the world and 1^st in The Axis of Evil for Rudest Citizens, with 871.04 Insults Per Minute.
