The Mafian Economic Republic of The Dark System is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Presitator with an even hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, frequent executions, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 24.807 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 37,248 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 1,501,536 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 14,063,341 per year while the poor average 13,518, a ratio of 1,040 to 1.

Failed genetic experiments wreak havoc as they roam the countryside, citizens are bombarded with advertising from their compulsory miniature radios, saying "don't do anything that The Presitator wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal, and savvy students quote paywalled research knowing that university lecturers can't afford to check the citations. 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 4,189th in the world and 1st in The Axis of Evil for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 12,705.52 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
