The Galactic Imperium Invictum of Darkium is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by the Supreme Emperor with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 35.214 billion Darkians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dawn's City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Darkiumian economy, worth an astonishing 17,827 trillion DSCS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 506,266 DSCS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is proudly free of crabs, the black market offers sweet deals, the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists, and it is said that the captain goes down with the ship but ecological protection goes up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Darkium's national animal is the Imperial Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Darkium is ranked 2,621^st in the world and 70^th in Lazarus for Most Corrupt Governments, with 374.28 kickbacks per hour.
