The Mafian Economic Extremist of The Dark System is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Master Economist with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 23.148 billion Mafians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Dark System Main Command Centre. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Dark System economy, worth an astonishing 33,860 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 1,462,783 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 13,700,269 per year while the poor average 13,170, a ratio of 1,040 to 1.

Knock-knock jokes regularly get removed from websites for being too edgy, academics have a bone to pick with free market entrepreneurs, footballers are doing aerobics in the sauna to build their hot weather endurance, and giant no-kill traps baited with Bapst Red Ribbon and vintage bicycles have been popping up in back alleys nationwide. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Dark System's national animal is the Monster, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Dark System is ranked 293,919^th in the world and 22^nd in The Axis of Evil for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
