The Delegate's Messenger of The Information Center is a massive, pleasant nation, ruled by Delegate Merlovich with an even hand, and remarkable for its burgeoning Nightingale population. The hard-working population of 1.999 billion Information Centerians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Delegate's Office. The average income tax rate is 16.6%.

The Information Centerian economy, worth 92.3 trillion Darics a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 46,156 Darics, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The Information Center has designated The Delegate's Office as its capital city and Delegate Merlovich has just been declared ruler of The Information Center in an international press conference. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Information Center's national animal is the Nightingale.
