The Hive of Delthorensdale is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Ray Sunset with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 18.907 billion Delth enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The minute, liberal government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sunset Manor. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Delth economy, worth a remarkable 7,045 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 372,657 indocries, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, former customs officers are adjusting to their new lives as market stall traders, a cat may look at a king and a dude can look at an ass, and the government pours millions of indocries into rehabilitation programs annually. 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 8,532^nd in the world and 254^th in the South Pacific for Safest, scoring 123.26 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
