The Protectorate of Delsola is a massive, devout nation, ruled by Lord Protector Dragutin Krešo Petrović with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.163 billion are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Titanusan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Uranium Mining.

Manual labourers must be willing to have cybernetic limbs to get a job, reports of arson have doubled since the introduction of a privatised fire protection service, the government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority, and military spending recently hit a new high. Crime is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Delsola's national animal is the Stag, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Orthadox Titanism, and its currency is the Krela.

Delsola is ranked 10th in The Federal Union and 129,639th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -155 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
