The Mafian Economic Extremist of The Dark System is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Master Economist with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, flagrant waste-dumping, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 18.995 billion Mafians 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 99.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Dark System economy, worth an astonishing 25,451 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 1,339,898 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 12,547,741 per year while the poor average 12,084, a ratio of 1,038 to 1.

Warfare increasingly resembles a video game, the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, many marriages go virtually unconsummated, and safe drinking water is considered a luxury. Crime 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 7^th in the world and 1^st in The Axis of Evil for Largest Soda Pop Sector, scoring 72,365.73 on the Addison-Fukk Productivity Rating.
