The Mafian Economic Republic of The Dark System is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Economist with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 28.523 billion Mafians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

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 Main Command Centre City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Dark System economy, worth an astonishing 44,698 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 1,567,100 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 14,677,474 per year while the poor average 14,107, a ratio of 1,040 to 1.

The children of The Dark System are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, soldiers are taught to throw their guns at their enemies once the bullets have run out, politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, and executions often take hours as amateurs attempt to find veins. 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 58,360^th in the world and 6^th in The Axis of Evil for Nudest, with 196.25 cheeks per square mile.
