The Secret Society Leader of Laplus Darkness is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Laplus Darkness with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 10.319 billion Laplus Darknessians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Secret Society Base. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.9%.

The thriving Laplus Darknessian economy, worth 977 trillion yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 94,771 yen, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 309,657 per year while the poor average 21,806, a ratio of 14.2 to 1.

In life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens, modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, and pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Laplus Darkness's national animal is the crow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is World Conquest.

Laplus Darkness is ranked 130,040^th in the world and 884^th in Remembrance for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 559.71 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
