The Hegemony of Delberz is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Hegemon Kira Tarkin-McBride with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ritual sacrifices, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 26.454 billion Delberzians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Minas Delberz. The average income tax rate is 1.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Delberzian economy, worth a remarkable 9,231 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 348,955 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, squeaky high prepubescent voices recite the patriotic poem "Hail to The Leader!" before each meal, military officials are questioning the policy of ceding the nation's territory in exchange for promises not to invade it, and construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Delberz's national animal is the Boar, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Lectitio Divinitatus.

Delberz is ranked 662nd in the world and 45th in Osiris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 12,454.16 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
