The Republic of Delphine is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Legate Sandra Rivera with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic, devout population of 6.731 billion Delphineans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sabran. The average income tax rate is 37.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Delphinean economy, worth 309 trillion denaris a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 45,950 denaris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, party leaders rely on horoscopes to create "ticket balance", and the "blue screen of death" forces many trials to be either aborted or restarted. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Delphine's national animal is the fox and its national religion is Tellurism.

Delphine is ranked 197,462^nd in the world and 1^st in Great Europe for Highest Average Incomes, with 45,950.44 Standard Monetary Units.
