The Confederacy of Delcovia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Mikey Escobar with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 33.03 billion Delcovians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Healthcare and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Media. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Delcovian economy, worth an astonishing 12,578 trillion deadprezzes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is an amazing 380,832 deadprezzes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,556,680 per year while the poor average 61,682, a ratio of 25.2 to 1.

Playing card suits are sold separately, multilingual concierges man empty inner city apartment blocks, the family summer vacation has become a thing of the past following the introduction of the year-round school year, and preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, probably because of the absence of a police force. Delcovia's national animal is the platypus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is No Established Church.

Delcovia is ranked 249,234th in the world and 10,855th in Osiris for Most Authoritarian, with 368.82 milliStalins.
