The Hive of Delthorensdale is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Ray Sunset with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, unlimited-speed roads, and vat-grown people. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 14.591 billion Delth have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sunset Manor. The average income tax rate is 13.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Delth economy, worth a remarkable 4,519 trillion indocries a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 309,766 indocries, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Little kids often wonder why strange grown-ups are following them around the soft play areas, a suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Delth politicians, economic output is rising as the chronically depressed are persuaded not to burden society, and a child's only Trickster Night scare is the sight of their parents dancing. Crime, especially youth-related, 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 119,261^st in the world and 6,229^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 79.1 on the Hayek Index.
