The Dark Imperium of Awitha is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Empress Farsom with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, anti-smoking policies, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 16.438 billion Awithans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Klalcestor. The average income tax rate is 92.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Awithan economy, worth a remarkable 6,989 trillion Bit-Diamonds a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 425,230 Bit-Diamonds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is currently revamping its entire education system, small children are frequently chased by rehabilitated pitbulls, the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar, and the best fashion comes straight to the high street from sweatshops all across the globe. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Awitha's national animal is the Martiva, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Tryphonix.

Awitha is ranked 10,911^th in the world and 5^th in The Galactics Union for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 9,368.36 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
