The Kingdom of South Dalka is a huge, safe nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 483 million Dalkans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uldyris. The average income tax rate is 44.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Dalkan economy, worth 22.0 trillion Dalkan Reais a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 45,535 Dalkan Reais, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nude art is becoming wildly popular, children asking questions about science are referred to relevant sections in religious texts, the breathalyser pledge is a traditional part of marriages in South Dalka, and money grows on trees. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Dalka's national animal is the Reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

South Dalka is ranked 29,986^th in the world and 71^st in Thaecia for Safest, scoring 108.98 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
