The Commonwealth of Darkening Winter is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Ra'Nama Razaka with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 6.136 billion Darkening Winterians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leafoid City. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Darkening Winterian economy, worth a remarkable 1,298 trillion Dogecoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 211,551 Dogecoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

One-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes, terrorists are on a first name basis with the officials that stamp their passports, and consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Darkening Winter's national animal is the Turtle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Darkening Winter is ranked 10,384^th in the world and 594^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 118 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
