The Fiefdom of Dark Eldar is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, infamous sell-swords, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 500 million Drukhari are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.2%.

The all-consuming Drukhari economy, worth 43.4 trillion Pain Tokens a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 86,757 Pain Tokens, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 293,630 per year while the poor average 18,943, a ratio of 15.5 to 1.

Aides are afraid to ask if Leader wants a cup of tea or coffee, a Balder Tourist Association survey has rated Dark Eldar #1 for number twos, cancer rates amongst the richest in society are inexplicably on the rise, and teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Dark Eldar's national animal is the Khymera, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Dark Eldar is ranked 60,639^th in the world and 2,371^st in Balder for Highest Drug Use, scoring 257.76 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
