The Rogue Nation of Under Cover of Darkness is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Morpheus with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.411 billion Under Cover of Darknessians 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, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Black Hole of Calcutta. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.0%.

The powerhouse Under Cover of Darknessian economy, worth 419 trillion Purloined Jewels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 65,412 Purloined Jewels, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 246,401 per year while the poor average 12,106, a ratio of 20.4 to 1.

The inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only, the nation excels at displacement, Morpheus's webseries about the alleged hauntings of The Black Hole of Calcutta generates millions of views, and sweet-toothed Under Cover of Darknessians have been left penniless by the VAT on candy. Crime is a serious problem. Under Cover of Darkness's national animal is the Raccoon, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Somnambulism.

Under Cover of Darkness is ranked 184,708th in the world and 23rd in Coven of Witches for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 242.02 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
