The Kingdom of Darkmen is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by agustus nero with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 26.684 billion Darkmenians 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 minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Industry and Law & Order are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Darkmen City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Darkmenian economy, worth an astonishing 15,476 trillion dubloons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is a breathtaking 579,977 dubloons, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

Enthusiasm for abstract art has gone up in smoke, designer cars make no distinction between poor people and speed bumps, the police force is rumoured to be made up of evil shadows with no souls, and foreign football clubs wave the Darkmenian flag before every game. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Darkmen's national animal is the rancors, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Darkmen is ranked 308,258^th in the world and 11,933^rd in Balder for Most Developed, scoring 39.62 on the Human Development Index.
