The Woodhouse Sanctum of Darth Vater is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, pith helmet sales, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 29.069 billion Darth Vaterians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 52.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Darth Vaterian economy, worth a remarkable 3,021 trillion $$s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 103,949 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Darth Vater Barrier Island residents anxiously await their 'Bridge to Somewhere', prisoners due for execution often use their final statement to complain about soggy bread rolls, every politician claims to be at least 1% Native Darth Vaterian, and roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Darth Vater's national animal is the Dolly Varden.

Darth Vater is ranked 180,967^th in the world and 1^st in Bora Bora for Smartest Citizens, with 25.99 quips per hour.
