The Hive of Delthorensdale is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Ray Sunset with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, 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 7,045 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 373,054 indocries, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government tells its citizens to 'forgive and forget', bald-headed monks sit around the National Meditation Park looking smugly content, EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, and CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options. 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 51,882^nd in the world and 1,056^th in the South Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,783.17 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
