The Imperatum of The Very Dark Place is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by HE Sir Cerse Ermanáric with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ban on automobiles, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.481 billion Darkians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neu Bosehaven. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Darkian economy, worth a remarkable 3,267 trillion Imperial Notes a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 385,283 Imperial Notes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea, professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials, wind farms are erected on shuttered oil platforms, and major cities run on potato batteries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Very Dark Place's national animal is the Darkian Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Darkiut.
The Very Dark Place is ranked 6,032nd in the world and 48th in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Lowest Crime Rates, with 112.02 law-abiding acts per hour.
