The Empire of Daghburz is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by The Dark Lord Gorthaur with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, triple-decker prams, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.129 billion Dark people are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lugbúrz. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Dark economy, worth 185 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 164,265 Imperial Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,212,952 per year while the poor average 6,701, a ratio of 181 to 1.

Administrative districts are increasingly defined by their taste in housing architecture, international trade is a sticky issue, Dark people have recently stopped mysteriously setting off metal detectors, and wars are forgotten but not forgiven. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Daghburz's national animal is the warg, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Dark Faith.

Daghburz is ranked 55,933^rd in the world and 15^th in The United Federations for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 4,465.11 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
