The Divinity of The Dark Messenger is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.46 billion Dark Messengerians 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 relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.9%.

The strong Dark Messengerian economy, worth 223 trillion Noctis Solars a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 50,219 Noctis Solars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 158,688 per year while the poor average 12,135, a ratio of 13.1 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, a ban on robots in disguise has transformed the entertainment industry, education and welfare spending are on the rise, and doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion. Crime is moderate. The Dark Messenger's national animal is the Silver Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

The Dark Messenger is ranked 154,109^th in the world and 2^nd in Kingdom of Alexandria for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 2,226.42 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
