The State of Dalzelle is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 31.347 billion Dalzelleans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The very strong Dalzellean economy, worth a remarkable 1,282 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 40,900 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 278,072 per year while the poor average 2,197, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, military funding has been stripped back, surveillance cameras are banned, and Dalzelle has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Dalzelle's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dalzelle is ranked 6,078^th in the world and 27^th in State for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6,348.29 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
