The Hive of Delthorensdale is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Ray Sunset with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 18.893 billion Delth enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The minute, liberal government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sunset Manor. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Delth economy, worth a remarkable 7,050 trillion indocries a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 373,176 indocries, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', the internet has been placed under government control, political candidates who don't release their birth certificates are presumed to have been born in Maxtopia, and the delay between passed legislation and real world implementation is often a decade or longer. Crime is totally unknown. Delthorensdale's national animal is the clockwork horror, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Facilitate.

Delthorensdale is ranked 35,482^nd in the world and 785^th in the South Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 819.42 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
