The Galactic Imperium Invictum of Darkium is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Supreme Emperor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 30.553 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dawn's City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Darkiumian economy, worth an astonishing 15,433 trillion DSCS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 505,132 DSCS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, private pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are given away freely by the government, Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, and the canal flows through the land like a twisty turny thing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Darkium's national animal is the Imperial Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Darkium is ranked 162^nd in the world and 6^th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 215.97 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
