The Shimmering Isles of Dark One is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Dark One with an even hand, and notable for its burgeoning eagle population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 28.303 billion Dark Oneans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Darktown. The average income tax rate is 49.1%.

The strong Dark Onean economy, worth a remarkable 1,010 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Gambling. Average income is 35,719 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

A nation-wide cull of eagles is in effect, it is now illegal for teens to view any sites except Club Kitten and My Little Donkey, The Dark One has just been declared ruler of Dark One in an international press conference, and Darkism has been named as Dark One's national religion. Crime is moderate. Dark One's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Darkism.

Dark One is ranked 125,640^th in the world and 1^st in Autarchic Pact for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
