The Kingdom of Darkmen is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by agustus nero with an iron fist, and notable for its digital currency, aversion to nipples, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 26.75 billion Darkmenians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Industry and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Darkmen City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Darkmenian economy, worth an astonishing 15,522 trillion dubloons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is a breathtaking 580,269 dubloons, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

Exports of live cows arrive pre-roasted, top gamblers bet against seedy hoopers, boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard, and international trade is a sticky issue. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Darkmen's national animal is the rancors, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Darkmen is ranked 917th in the world and 34th in Balder for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 108,334.5 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
