The Republic of Dalbergia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Paulo Souza Ferreira with an even hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.076 billion Dalbergians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gaston. The average income tax rate is 49.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Dalbergian economy, worth 482 trillion Lums a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,536 Lums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

People take government jobs for the frequent flier miles, the nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea, Dalbergian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Paulo Souza Ferreira, and pulling weeds is seen as a threat to national security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dalbergia's national animal is the Monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Forestology.

Dalbergia is ranked 86,096^th in the world and 1^st in Canopy for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.71 law-abiding acts per hour.
