The Commoners Republic of Delmarva and Cape May is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Edson McCoy with a fair hand, and notable for its public floggings, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.988 billion Delmarvans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Kenway. The average income tax rate is 44.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Delmarvan economy, worth 431 trillion CR Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 108,304 CR Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

There's often a little nagging voice suggesting that parents aren't keeping their kids safe, the blood, sweat, and tears of poor Delmarvans make research institutes rich, cops in Fort Kenway spend much of their time napping on a park bench next to Embassy Row, and billions of CR Dollars are being blown on orbital weapons development. Crime is almost non-existent. Delmarva and Cape May's national animal is the Pony, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Freedom of Religion.

Delmarva and Cape May is ranked 13,906^th in the world and 10^th in Union of Allied States for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 10,793.17 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
