The Colony of Upper Delta is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 517 million Upper Deltans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Welfare are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 7.8%.

The strong Upper Deltan economy, worth 29.9 trillion Sanerpian Dinars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 57,923 Sanerpian Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Upper Delta's national animal is the Camel, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Upper Delta is ranked 264,387^th in the world and 32^nd in The Embassy for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -3.16 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
