The Democratic Republic of Dilectri is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Bob Winkton with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.001 billion Dilectrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Castellum. The average income tax rate is 93.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dilectrian economy, worth 240 trillion Deruses a year, is highly specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 120,254 Deruses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Visiting the best Dilectrian restaurants requires keeping a visa on file, every week is blindness awareness week, government policy is dictated by a major religion, and crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dilectri's national animal is the Tree Frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dilectri is ranked 24,506^th in the world and 55^th in Refugia for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,390.54 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
