The Confederation of Delphia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Ava De Pauw with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 1.848 billion Delphians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zaan. The average income tax rate is 90.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Delphian economy, worth 231 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 125,435 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is against the rules of boxing to hit above or below the belt, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of, and Delphia is notorious for its citizens' infidelity. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Delphia's national animal is the peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Reformed Christianity.

Delphia is ranked 273,844^th in the world and 1,280^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -10.52 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
