The Nomadic Peoples of Dark Blade Deployment is a mid-sized, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The quiet, industrious population of 50 million Dark Bladeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 48.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Dark Blade Deploymentian economy, worth 1.74 trillion gold coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 34,804 gold coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dark Blade Deployment's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Dark Blade Deployment is ranked 97,804^th in the world and 409^th in Concord for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 48.43 Effective Tax Rate.
