The Tomatoship of New Delfos is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by The Council of New Delfos with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, rampant corporate plagiarism, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 35.92 billion Delfics enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Delfingrad. The average income tax rate is 63.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Delfosian economy, worth a remarkable 5,766 trillion tomatoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 160,529 tomatoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Clowns are being rounded up and admitted to mental institutions, the state considers itself the 'third parent' of every child in the nation, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, and most voters only see their chosen representative visit once every election cycle. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. New Delfos's national animal is the Big Red Tomato, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Delfos is ranked 5,536^th in the world and 3^rd in Taijitu for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 539.1 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
