The Shadow Empire of Darkest Nibu is a titanic, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 19.812 billion Darkest Nibuans 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 relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Spirituality, with Defense also on the agenda, while International Aid and Environment aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.7%.

The thriving Darkest Nibuan economy, worth a remarkable 1,306 trillion Souls a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 65,925 Souls, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 233,356 per year while the poor average 13,447, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Darkest Nibu's national animal is the Walrus, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Darkest Nibu is ranked 42,856^th in the world and 22^nd in Hell for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,849.66 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
