The Hive of Delthorensdale is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Ray Sunset with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 19.794 billion Delth enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny, liberal 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 4.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Delth economy, worth a remarkable 7,604 trillion indocries a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 384,182 indocries, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Terrorists are on a first name basis with the officials that stamp their passports, every new toxic waste dump comes with a seal of approval from the government's science advisor, exported livestock are wined and dined before they are flat ironed, and the inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only. Crime 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 385^th in the world and 11^th in the South Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 366,126.04 Standard Monetary Units.
