The Hive of Delthorensdale is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Ray Sunset with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 18.887 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 7,047 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 373,115 indocries, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, and belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace'. 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 51,936^th in the world and 1,058^th in the South Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,782.56 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
