The Most Serene Republic of Delight is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, rampant corporate plagiarism, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate population of 15.956 billion Delightists enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elathuria. The average income tax rate is 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Delightian economy, worth a remarkable 1,595 trillion Brass Buttons a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 99,991 Brass Buttons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Athletes are renowned for being the best at maths, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, and companies flee the nation rather than pay their fair share of taxes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Delight's national animal is the Death Meadow Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Delight is ranked 320,898^th in the world and 4,584^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Patriotic, with 0.74 flags saluted per person per day.
