The Hive of Delthorensdale is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Ray Sunset with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 19.805 billion Delth enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sunset Manor. The average income tax rate is 4.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Delth economy, worth a remarkable 7,607 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 384,139 indocries, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Military officers are given medals for disobeying orders, atheism is seen as a prerequisite for political power, it is a silent spring in Delthorensdale, and people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy. 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 35,305^th in the world and 319^th in the South Pacific for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 81.56 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
