The Scientific Powerhouse of Dark Matter is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by General Superintendent -------- ------- with an iron fist, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, vat-grown people, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 20.322 billion Espers are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, 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 Academy City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient scientific economy, worth a remarkable 7,961 trillion Academy City's Yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 391,785 Academy City's Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", hammer and sickle-wielding space marines are such stuff that dreams are made on, Scientific tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation, and wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dark Matter's national animal is the Dark Matter, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Irreligion.

Dark Matter is ranked 4,732nd in the world and 15th in Europe for Most Stationary, with 3,315.66454464 days.
