The Skeleton Version of The Dark Lord Sauron is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 25.073 billion Dark Lord Sauronians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.5%.

The powerhouse Dark Lord Sauronian economy, worth a remarkable 1,933 trillion Man Fleshs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 77,110 Man Fleshs, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall, the masses are surrendering their civil liberties without complaint for the sake of shopping convenience, and officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Dark Lord Sauron's national animal is the Cave Trolls, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Dark Lord Sauron is ranked 48,784^th in the world and 9^th in Mordor for Most Corrupt Governments, with 41.3 kickbacks per hour.
