The Chocolate Loving Paradise of Darkesia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Questionable Lady Darkesia with an even hand, and remarkable for its lack of airports, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 40.619 billion Darkesians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government prioritizes Education, although Defense, Environment, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fortress Cacao. The average income tax rate is 45.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Darkesian economy, worth a remarkable 6,789 trillion chocolate coin ®s a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 167,156 chocolate coin ®s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's all quiet on the western front, there's more than one way to skin a diplomat, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, and Information Technology facilities are being turned into chocolate bunny™ habitats. Crime is totally unknown. Darkesia's national animal is the chocolate bunny™, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Chocolatology.

Darkesia is ranked 83,634^th in the world and 1,782^nd in the West Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
