The United Republic of Delaclava is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Anna Voss with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, public floggings, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, devout population of 24.11 billion Delaclavs enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The relatively small, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Education, although Healthcare, Law & Order, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Catherina. The average income tax rate is 40.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Delaclav economy, worth a remarkable 5,758 trillion Karsikas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 238,839 Karsikas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

No one questions why the chicken crossed the road anymore, newspaper stories fill several pages with colorful adjectives, men avoid even so much as looking at female colleagues, and comatose jurors are the defense's favorite. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Delaclava's national animal is the phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Delaclava is ranked 10,545^th in the world and 4^th in Sonnel for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 6,796.82 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
