The Darkon State, also called the Darkon Republic, was the government of the Mid Rim planet of Darkon III. A fascist republic, it was led by the Poglavnik, who was essentially a dictator. The head of government was the Prime Minister, though he answered to the Poglavnik. Nearly absolute power was vested in the Poglavnik, and the Darkon State Council, the legislature, also usually had to listen to him and rarely was able to override his decrees. However, due to massive propaganda campaigns, the majority of Darkons accepted the rule of the Poglavnik. Whoever held the post usually held it for life.
