The Mafian Economic Republic of The Dark System is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Presitator with an even hand, and notable for its enslaved workforce, public floggings, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 24.652 billion Mafians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Main Command Centre City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Dark System economy, worth an astonishing 36,982 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is a breathtaking 1,500,181 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 14,050,625 per year while the poor average 13,506, a ratio of 1,040 to 1.

Burgers often list "miscellaneous meats" in their ingredients, the leading national news source is 'my cousin Billy-Bob on MyFace', door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', and public parks are on the upswing. Crime is totally unknown. The Dark System's national animal is the Monster, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Dark System is ranked 2,069^th in the world and 1^st in The Axis of Evil for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 13,198.35 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
