The Holy Shahada of Delftland is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, parental licensing program, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 29.28 billion Delftlandians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 81.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Delftlandian economy, worth a remarkable 4,383 trillion Dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 149,707 Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The military invades any neighboring nation with the gall to criticize its policies, human sacrifice offerings die with apples in their mouths, public spending advocates dread when the government says they're here to help, and juries are mostly made up of wealthy busybodies and ex-convicts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Delftland's national animal is the black rat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Delftland is ranked 17,272nd in the world and 3rd in Islam for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,671.2 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
