The Armed Republic of Dehlk is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by The Beninistic Society with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.98 billion Dehlkians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Dehlk Citadel of War. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Dehlkian economy, worth a remarkable 2,959 trillion rukers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 370,893 rukers, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,415,960 per year while the poor average 4,082, a ratio of 836 to 1.

Prisoners enjoy gruel served by fellow sullen inmates wearing reindeer ears, bilingual Dehlkians are viewed with suspicion, the road to salvation runs ramrod straight, and every manufactory has a pharmacy built in. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dehlk's national animal is the siri, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Mullinism.

Dehlk is ranked 136,150^th in the world and 477^th in Carcassonne for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,234.13 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
