The Hive of Delthorensdale is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Ray Sunset with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, pith helmet sales, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, cheerful population of 19.816 billion Delth enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The frighteningly efficient Delth economy, worth a remarkable 7,604 trillion indocries a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 383,751 indocries, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
