The Foreboding Tyranny of Dark Edgyness is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Overlord Phrecia Halburn with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, vat-grown people, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.204 billion Edgelords 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Glitch City. The average income tax rate is 99.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Dark Edgynessian economy, worth a remarkable 2,498 trillion souls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 271,413 souls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Defense lawyers suggestively note to juries how flagrantly happy victims were, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, the "blue screen of death" forces many trials to be either aborted or restarted, and lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dark Edgyness's national animal is the defective bioweapon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Justice.

Dark Edgyness is ranked 1,862^nd in the world and 22^nd in Europeia for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 20,192.61 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
