The Hive of Delthorensdale is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Ray Sunset with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, vat-grown people, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 18.863 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 7,026 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 372,493 indocries, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", barbers who trim a few inches of hair bill the government for their labor, and rich people sell their mansions to pay for endless rows of mobile homes. 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 290,854^th in the world and 5,420^th in the South Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -33.38 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
