The Galactic Imperium Invictum of Darkium is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Supreme Emperor with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 30.506 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, socially-minded, well-organized 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 15,419 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 505,457 DSCS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Eerie glow-in-the-dark cornfields give farmlands an uncanny appearance, forgetting to pay your annual passport bill is a leading cause of deportations, some Darkiumian athletes have defected to Blackacre after being denied the chance to compete in international sporting events, and it's illegal to be caught on tape. 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 is also the nation's favorite main course.

Darkium is ranked 201^st in the world and 7^th in Lazarus for Most Beautiful Environments, with 8,623.98 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
