The Mafian Economic Republic of The Dark System is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Presitator with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 24.44 billion Mafians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Main Command Centre City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Dark System economy, worth an astonishing 36,535 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is a breathtaking 1,494,892 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 14,001,085 per year while the poor average 13,458, a ratio of 1,040 to 1.

Online terrorists are automatically assigned adverts for cheap balaclavas, it's said that any enemy of democracy is a friend to The Presitator, woodcutter axes are cited as the most common cause of death amongst Monsters, and dissident voters are sent on a 'relaxing break' at the Ministry of Love. Crime is totally unknown. The Dark System's national animal is the Monster, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Dark System is ranked 64^th in the world and 1^st in The Axis of Evil for Most Patriotic, with 213.87 flags saluted per person per day.
