The Aeonian Citadel of Darakin is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Ashton Q Westchester III with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 46.784 billion Darakini are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Darakin Citadel. The average income tax rate is 13.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Darakini economy, worth 225 trillion shmingels a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 4,813 shmingels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ashton Q Westchester III is frequently seen begging critics to stop insulting the government, feeling like a winner comes at a price, government-sponsored WiFi allows farmers to rant about city folks in real time, and politicians who misplace decimal points on expense reports are fired for gross incompetence. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Darakin's national animal is the puma, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Darakin is ranked 298,199^th in the world and 3,706^th in the South Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 81.45 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
