The Groove is in the Heart of Delite is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by everyone with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, ubiquitous missile silos, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 12.809 billion Deliteans 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Delitean economy, worth 616 trillion Worthless Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 48,143 Worthless Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The state is footing the bill for billionaires' lawyers, citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages, litter collection has replaced fast food as the most popular after-school job, and the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Delite's national animal is the Wingless Pigeon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is a major religion.

Delite is ranked 232,094th in the world and 5th in Minecraft Soul Sand Valley for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -2.8 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
