The Mafian Economic Extremist of The Dark System is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Master Economist with an iron fist, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, enslaved workforce, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 17.526 billion Mafians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Dark System Main Command Centre. The average income tax rate is 99.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Dark System economy, worth an astonishing 22,744 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 1,297,774 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 12,151,652 per year while the poor average 11,725, a ratio of 1,036 to 1.

The "boy who cried wolf" policy makes sick people reluctant to call an ambulance, Master Economist signs the laws but abides by none of them, fast-food chefs regularly win Health Innovation Awards for spitting on burgers, and it's said that Master Economist can turn every pleasure into a chore. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Dark System's national animal is the Monster, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Dark System is ranked 27^th in the world and 2^nd in The Axis of Evil for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 35,069.45 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
