The Ymerodraeth of Ynys Dywyll is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by His Imperial Majesty Stephen XXX with an even hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, flagrant waste-dumping, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 31.969 billion Dark Islanders enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Education, although Healthcare is also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caer Ddraig Goch. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Ynys Dywyllian economy, worth an astonishing 11,434 trillion Sovereigns a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 357,686 Sovereigns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Some say His Imperial Majesty Stephen XXX has gone MAD after authorizing the development of apocalyptic biological weapons, economists have been named Invertebrates of the Year, referenda are held for every conceivable government action, and if the best leaders are those who don't want to lead then His Imperial Majesty Stephen XXX's lack of leadership must be a great leadership quality. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ynys Dywyll's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Nonsuch.

Ynys Dywyll is ranked 24,144^th in the world and 4^th in Caer Sidi for Highest Drug Use, scoring 113.8 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
