The Dark Knight of Legend of Necromus is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.364 billion Necromusians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 28.3%.

The very strong Necromusian economy, worth 296 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,832 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand, suit-clad businessmen have been taking advantage of the relaxed welfare qualifications by shopping with food stamps, a typical peasant's life cycle leads from birth to the gallows, and the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Necromus's national animal is the bison, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Necromus is ranked 290,803^rd in the world and 2^nd in Margistani Conference for Peace for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 33.37 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
