The Colony of Darcius is a titanic, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 15.846 billion Darciusians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 18.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Darciusian economy, worth 579 trillion florins a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,586 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Darcius's national animal is the penguin.

Darcius is ranked 252,401^st in the world and 1^st in CTFU for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring zero on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
