The Democratic Republic of Delicatus is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Charles Arlbenno with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 18.833 billion Delicatusians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Delicatia. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Delicatusian economy, worth a remarkable 2,098 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 111,432 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

More than one company makes the board game Monopoly, political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, all you have to do is pray to get into Delicatus, and the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Delicatus's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Delicatus is ranked 3,269^th in the world and 1^st in Libertium for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 7,633.63 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
