The Dark Side of The Force is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its parental licensing program, pith helmet sales, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.986 billion Midi Chlorians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 20.7%.

The strong Forcean economy, worth 289 trillion Galactic Credits a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 57,979 Galactic Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs, dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', black market eau de toilette is made in bathroom labs across the nation, and traumatized ex-ambassadors seek treatment for their "desk dissociation". Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Force's national animal is the Midi Chlorian, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Force is ranked 169,363^rd in the world and 6^th in Counter Social for Highest Drug Use, scoring 2.4 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
