The Empire of Dark Pub is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 7 million Dark Pubians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.9%.

The strong Dark Pubian economy, worth 418 billion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 59,691 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Dark Pub's national animal is the cobra, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Dark Pub is ranked 210,539^th in the world and 19^th in Fascism Is The Best Ideology Ever for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -4 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
